Author: Cornelia Otis Skinner

apparently, drip, dripped, dripping, missionary, regime, yearn

It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance.»
