...this strange life is by no means clear, since at critical moments in the narrative he seems always to have been in the U. S. Hospitable, inquisitive, wide-eyed, awed by the glamour of European reputations and European love affairs, Mabel Dodge was often irritated by her husband's "inferior sophistication," his Boston facetiousness, his lack of respect for famed visitors, as well as by his occasional puritanical insistence that certain forms of nonsense stop...
Alexander Korda's trip to Hollywood last week was not his first. Son of a well-to-do land agent on the estate of a Hungarian bishop, he became a schoolteacher at 14, a reporter at 18, got into cinema by translating subtitles.

They resemble happy wives in liking social welfare work, picnics, excursions and parties and in expecting solicitude when they are ill; but they prefer not to ask advice and to face their troubles alone. They...
...after November Hours receive honor degrees, and the other for C, D, and E students. The sections made up of the honor men would stress the literary side of the language and in addition have a weekly lecture in the course. The groups of inferior students, on the other hand, would concentrate on French grammar and as much composition as the instructor thinks feasible...
