First lines
"It seems to me," said Mr. Stephen Kingsley thoughtfully to himself, as he laid down his younger brother Samuel's letter, "that it would be a very good thing to get Sam and Sylvester together. Judging by this letter -- and one I had not long ago from Syl -- it must be some three or four years since they've met -- voluntarily. And that is too long -- altogether too long -- for brothers to remain in relations -- er -- lacking harmony."
