...Last year, children seemed to hold the lead, but this year, apparently, the imbeciles have taken over. Realizing that these subjects are easier for developing writers to work with, one still wishes that they would occasionally, tackle something more mature.

Herr Professor Doktor rose stiffly, shook everyone's hand, and left as the students watched the master's cigarette smoke become, at last, part of the clouded overall picture.
