Usage:

...curiously constructed, some may say poorly construct- ed, for the curtain comes down at the end of a first act provoking interest by its lack of dramatic climax. The second and third acts hold the attention remarkably. The suave scheming deacon, a lovable hypocrite and generous to a fault, is pivot; and Mr. Berton Churchill acts his sanctimonious role to perfection, while with nimble wit and deft fingers he wins himself, the girl, the hobo, and the proprietress out of dangerous holes. Then there are the villains, well drawn, better acted, and best cast, and the local characters highly indigenous...

...sure, a fairly general failure to recognize the value of discipline simply as discipline. Side by side stand two critiques of English courses, the first of which proclaims utter scorn of collegiate study of "elementary grammar," and the second of which opens with a sentence that involves a glaring fault in sequence of tenses.
