_Indianapolis Sunday Star_, 31 March 1912: p. 13(?):

<<Laura and Edgar were Comrades, in a way. They met under the Student Lamp
and talked about Schopenhauer and Walter Pater, but the Affair never got
beyond that Point. It was not even warm enough to be called Platonic. ....
/ There grew up between them merely a Fellowship of the Super-Mind, or what
a Wimp wearing Tortoise-Shell Spectacles would call Cosmahogany. ....>>
