While thus engaged, I fell deeply in love with Charleston and San Francisco, hated Los Angeles — a misnomer if ever there was one — was exhilarated by New York and loathed Chicago and St Louis. During the course of my peregrinations many strange things befell me but it was not until I ventured south of the Mason—Dixon line that I had my strangest experience of all. I had been asked by the Literary Guild of Memphis, Tennessee, to lecture them on conservation. The Guild informed me, with a certai...n amount of smug satisfaction, that I was to stay with no less exalted a person than the deputy treasurer, a Mrs Magnolia Dwite-Henderson. Now, when I go a-lecturing, I hate being a guest at a stranger’s house. All too often they say to me, ‘Now you’ve been on the road for the last three weeks and we know you must be simply exhausted, worn out, debilitated. Well, with us you’re going to have a real rest. This evening we’re only going to have forty of our most intimate friends to dinner, whom you will simply adore.MoreLess
