HER LETTER

His Answer & Her Last Letter

By BRET HARTE

Pictured by ARTHUR I KELLER

I'm sitting alone by the fire
Dressed just as I came from the dance. (In color) Frontispiece
Title. (In color)
Publishers' Note—Headpiece 5
List of Designs—Headpiece 7

Her Letter—Half-title

11
Is wasting an hour upon you 13
That waits—on the stairs—for me yet 15
With whom do I waltz, flirt, or talk? 17
To look supernaturally grand 19
And the hum of the smallest of talk 21
With the man that shot Sandy McGee. (In color) 23
The man that shot Sandy McGee 25
Of that ride,—that to me was the rarest 27
And swam the North Fork, and all that 29
Mamma says my taste still is low 31
That my heart's somewhere there in the ditches 33
His Answer—Half-title 35
I should write what he runs off his tongue. (In color) 37
Being asked by an intimate party 39
That with you, Miss, he "challenges Fate" 41
Though the claim not, at date, paying wages 43
And the rose that you gave him. (In color) 45
Is frequent and painful and free 47
Imparts but small ease to the style 49
In this green laurel spray that he treasures 51
But he lies there quite peaceful and pensive 53
For I have a small favor to ask you 55
Here's my pile; which it's six hundred dollars 57

Her Last Letter—Half-title

59
That you last wrote the 4th of December 61
And you're not to be found in the ditches. (In color) 63
From this spot, that you said was the fairest 65
To London, when Pa wired, "Stop" 67
And as to the stories you've heard 69
Whose father sold clothes on the Bar 71
With a look, Joe, that made her eyes drop. (In color) 73
To find myself here, all alone 75
Ah! gone is the old necromancy 77
And you called the place Eden, you know. (In color) 79
And the copse where you once tied my shoe-knot 81
There's the rustle of silk on the sidewalk 83
But there's still the "lap, lap" of the river. (In color) 85
There's a lot that remains which one fancies 87
He thinks he may find you 89
And good-night to the cañon that answers 91
I've just got your note. You deceiver! 93
Now I know why they had me transferred here. (In color) 95
How dared you get rich—you great stupid! 97
The man who shot Sandy McGee
You made mayor! 99
