First lines

Nothing impaired but all disordered. _Midsummer Night's Dream._

There are four guest-rooms in my house. It is not a large house, and how there came to be so many rooms to spare for the entertaining of friends is not a story to be told here. It is only a few years since they were all full -- and not with guests. But they are nearly always full now. And when I assign each room it is after taking thought.
