HER LETTER

His Answer & Her Last Letter

By BRET HARTE

Pictured by ARTHUR I KELLER

| PAGE

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
Tailpiece | 100
