...lithe, graceful, ingratiating, childlike--and quite pagan. Worse than any vampire bat, he destroys Mr. Fortune's placidity; he creates have in a heart which had thought itself immune from any emotion except a fervent hatred for the world, the flesh and the devil. His innocence precludes any anger and his simplicity demands friendship. As Mr. Fortune's man Friday he wanders through the book an absolutely unfathomable creature, a gracile dryad, a tropic faun--a maggot. In short, he is a masterpiece...
Since the envelope was long, crisp, important, a flunky in tight breeches and silver braid carried it gingerly to the Chamberlain, Admiral Herr von Reuber Paschwitz. More in amaze than anger, the Admiral muttered "Dummkopf! Blockhead!" ripped, discovered the letter to be signed by Major Judson Hannigan (able morale developer, training camp inspirationalist, generous cup and counsel donor to promising rookies) 104th Infantry, Boston, Mass...
...essential to life than that part of the brain in which conscious thought takes place-the cortex. The cat thus operated upon by Dr. Cannon lacked many normally automatic responses to stimuli.

A tremor passed down the lupine spine off big Boris, too, and that very afternoon he was so sentimental about Rennie's glossy brown coat and hang-down ears that Tessa, his Russian-temperamental fiancee, bit him on all four legs. Golden Toes had no idea what...
Where Anthony Comstock was a berserk lion of purity, Mr. Sumner dislikes being thought of as a reformer. His smile and forbearance are of the efficient Y. M. C. A. type. With affability, not anger, does he discountenance the evildoer. In the performance of his duties, he avoids "scenes" by working hand in glove with Manhattan's district attorney, at present, one Joab H. Banton, whose definition of art is "the beautiful as opposed to the realistic," who regards certain plays of Sophocles as indecent, who says, "My God, if Christianity has not advanced us beyond the stage...
