Another flurry was caused by word from impressionable young reporters in Washington that General Pershing, military representative, would attend the Coronation in a gaudy $600 uniform of his own designing, consisting of an ostrich-plumed "fore & aft" hat, a frock coat embroidered with oak leaves, epaulets, brass buttons and a buff silk sash. Infuriated, General Pershing stomped up the gangway of the President Harding without ever explaining clearly to reporters that his Coronation costume was no flight of fancy but the regulation full-dress uniform of a General in the U.

Juliet does some speculating about where-fore Romeo is Romeo and not Caspar Milquetoast or some other moniker that would rid the young pigeons of the family barriers between them. And the tone of her voice--that tender caress of a voice, instinct with primal passion and heart-throb and love--gives a musical quality and dramatic force that's been associated with it ever since.
