wheather thats original or not only those are the words that kept running through my head - no honor any way. I have not gone out a great deal since I returned. I have spent one morning & two evenings of misery. At Dr. Poor's I sat in his awful chair & gazed dolefully at his sign "Chandler Poor, dentist" until I knew every little bend of the letters, or shut my eyes to keep back the tears & said dates to my self while he hammered & scraped for over three hours in a manner that I am sure none can appreciate excepting those who know from experience. At the partys I sat or danced to the tune of "O! dear; O! dear; O! dear; I wish I wasnt I wasn't here. O! dear; O! dear; O! dear; what makes me queer!" I always feel out of place
