                        <i>Etymology</i>

          (SUPPLIED BY A LATE CONSUMPTIVE USHER TO A
                  GRAMMAR SCHOOL.)

<p>The pale Usher -- threadbare in coat, heart, body, and 
brain; I see him now.  He was ever dusting his old lexicons 
and grammars, with a queer handkerchief, mockingly 
embellished with all the gay flags of all the known nations 
of the world.  He loved to dust his old grammars; it somehow 
mildly reminded him of his mortality.
