Okay, lie down.
:12:28
After an astounding
undergraduate career...
:12:31
I studied for three years
with Prof. E.M. Ashford...
:12:33
during which I learned
by instruction and example...
:12:36
what it means to be
a scholar of distinction.
:12:38
As a research Fellow, my principal task...
:12:41
was the alphabetizing of index cards
for Ashford's monumental critical edition...
:12:46
of Donne's
Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions.
:12:51
I am thanked in the preface.
:12:54
"Miss Vivian Bearing,
for her able assistance."
