...which is in fact less a theory than an empirical rule of thumb- is simple enough in itself, not so simple in application. It presumes three simultaneous movements of stock prices, which may be compared to 1) tides. 2) waves. 3) ripples. Speculators try to ride the tides, sometimes duck in & out of the big waves; only the reckless try to profit by the day-to-day ripples. To judge whether the tide is ebbing or flowing, an observer watches the height to which successive waves lap on the beach; if the tide has been coming in, and the waves...

Anthropologist Field's contributions: 1) a seal which he could not get into the freight elevator; 2) an un- housebroken, pregnant camel, whose nuisances were observed...
...they have met their match when one ruthlessly honest governess gives them as good as she gets; but when she herself catches the Ponsonby family disease of dishonesty, all attempts at family betterment end. Only hopeful one left is the eleven-year-old daughter, who sheds sarcasm as a duck sheds water, thinks Ponsonby malice and Ponsonby messes are awfully funny...
