Unfortunately the family has an inventive cousin who has already cluttered up the house with a shoe-shining device that pops out of the wall, a musical chair that plays when rocked, a rattrap shaped like an egg beater (supposed to fool the rats, it fools instead the colored maid). He has also put the family into the business of making hamburgers saturated with vodka, landing the Old Man in jail. Wanting to redeem himself, the cousin attempts to psychoanalyze the race horse.

France, short on planes and morale, went to the foot of the class in this kind of camouflage. Long on bottle corks, Frenchmen floated...
...fathoms of frustrated desires. He wrote of a typical female in Winesburg, Ohio: "At night she dreamed that he had bitten into her body and that his jaws were dripping." Of a typical male: "Tricked, by Gad, that's what I was, tricked by life and made a fool...
