With the instinct of a patrician grandmother, Boston has taken to its bosom all that is dated and fine and foreign in the way of art.

Her precise timing, her walk, her little habit of patting her bosom and her clothes (by Hattic Carnegie) all contribute to the ensemble, but Miss Lawrence achieves most of her effect with her voice. Like none which she has used in the past, it ranges from the affected, hysterical gaiety of Fontaine to the throaty rasp of Blanche Calloway, and a mischievous drawl...
...away, leaving the head completely scalped. From the bottom of the chamber sprouts a sticky brown-black beard which runs up the side several feet--a beard of ooze and slime which has spread over the iron skin of the globe in the weeks it lay on the clammy bosom of this watery abyss...
