...craft on such a route, they must submit to the severest treatment: rapid-fire succession of take-offs & landings, continued splashings of salt water.

Things she did not know: the life-span of a horse; the largest city in the U. S.; why the heart beats. If she were hunting a ball lost in a circular field and were, offered two ways of finding it, she would utilize the "inferior" one. An 8th grade student in school, she was found by Teacher Friendly's test (the standard Stanford-Binet test, said she) to have an Intelligence Quotient of 63-seven less than necessary to escape...
