Excerpt from Appalachia, Vol. 9: The Journal of the Appalachian Mountain Club; 1899-1901 No parties ever got away for their day's work in better trim than did ours for Lefroy and Victoria. We had thought our selves in great luck in our training climbs at Glacier House, when for our starlight departures Miss Mollison had given us the freedom of the hotel kitchen and dining-room, with warm soup awaiting us in the heaters and varied Viands under tidy napkins on our special table; but, in his zeal for our comfort, Mr. Howard, of the Chalet, furnished us on both these days a regular hot breakfast, juicy beefsteak, hot rolls and coffee, at three a.m., and on this particular occasion had sat up all night to make sure of a perfect start for us. The memory of that breakfast will ever be held in grateful remembrance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
