...used to carry messages from Prof. Hurlbut to such students at Harvard as were in the bad books of the administrative forces. I have not the least doubt that Terry would remember my name and class as well. It was his boast that he forgot the face of no one who ever matriculated at the university. The trouble is that Terry remembers far too much. He knows, I feel certain, my mark in French was A. and when I went on probation and why. In fact, I would not put it above his marvelous memory to retain the unimportant information...

Alarmed, she telephones a mauve musician (Andre Beranger) and the two slip under the lap robes of the car in which the philandering pair are taking a speedy moonlight, midnight drive...
...Herds of oryx, the double-horned unicorn, wilde-beeste, kongari, eland, impalla, buffalo, zebra, came in turns to drink. Also the rare okapi. They respect and stand aside for the conceited and preening ostrich of the deadly kick. Zebra snap and fight among themselves continuously. Giraffes, "the creatures God forgot," wander about nervously nibbling at the trees too timid even to drink. Defenseless against his fatal leap, they are the favorite food of Simba, the lion...
