Yet at the mere sight of a church-going girl, Gracie Williams, whom he wanted to marry, he put away his jug, joined the Possum Trot Church choir, turned piously religious.

Artist Gray defends both Annie's criminality and her far-righteousness as an accurate reflection of life. "Sweetness and light-who the hell wants it?" he says. "What's news in the newspaper?

In Mozart, her scholarship is firm, and the writing is good Brophy, but it is sheer gusto and freshness of thought that make the book a joy to read...
...life, whether the scenes should be played in a different order. Her concern is with interpretation. She presents her bold views with the disarming intellectual idiosyncrasy of a fine English travel book.
