My Aunt Maria asked me to read the life of Dr.... | Henry David Thoreau

My Aunt Maria asked me to read the life of Dr. Chalmers,
which, however, I did not promise to do.
Yesterday, Sunday, she was heard through the partition
shouting to my Aunt Jane, who is deaf, 'Think of it!
He stood half an hour today to hear the frogs croak,
and he wouldn't read the life of Chalmers.' - Henry David Thoreau
