...work, the same son stood white-faced in a prisoner's dock to receive a murderer's death sentence. The Governess arose, screamed, "And I shall pardon him! It is my right!" Shouts from outside penetrated the wrecked, nerve-shaken courtroom. "Extra! Extra! Governess Fenway impeached!" . . . Her Honor, the Governor, released last week, is a good cinema...
...Democratic primary with well over 50% of the votes cast, thus precluding a "run-off" primary unless Mrs. Ferguson's husband-manager could establish his loud charges of poll frauds. In Texas, Democratic nomination equals virtual election. Under the terms of a wager* Governess Ferguson was honor-bound to resign her executive position immediately.

It was time for her to go to college - the University of California. In her first year she was an honor student and won a scholarship for "excellence in all studies," but she managed to play tennis three times a week, summer and winter. She specialized in art courses; "Pop" Fuller had stimulated her interest in drawing; he owned some good pictures and took her every year to the exhibition...
