Seward lived eight more years, dying in 1872 at 71. He previously had served as New York's senator and also as its twelfth governor. His final words to his family on his death bed were: "Love one another."
The floating book shop had a visit from Ol' Smoky today. He fixated on the term "rigomortis," asking if animals suffered it and, if so, why anyone would eat meat. He gave me an eight-and-a-half by eleven book on magic and witchcraft. As I fanned through it, I spotted a small XXX pamphlet. I removed it and said: "Do you want this?" He said: "Hell ya." I tittered, surprised the homeless life hadn't quashed that part of him. After he'd gone, Marie showed up and spotted the book. I teased that she and Smoky were apparently on the same page, as it was third time she'd shown interest in a book Bob had donated. She is sweet enough to laugh about something like that. My thanks, also to the gentleman who donated about 20 works of fiction geared toward adolescents, and the lovely young Russian blonde who purchased six books just as I was closing shop.
