Explore "Cope in a Final View" by Henry Blake Fuller on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Cope, after a few days, followed his parents back to Freeford. He may have said goodbye to his landlady and to some of his associates in his department; but he contrived no set adieux for the friends who had done so much for him -- or had tried to -- through the past year. Basil Randolph and Medora Phillips had their last view of him when, diploma in hand, he led his parents away, over the campus.
"Oh, well," said Randolph resignedly, "we were less important to him than we thought. Only a couple of negligible items among many. Entered in his ledger -- if we were entered -- and now faded away to a dim, rusty, illegible scrawl."
