...aside when he became a famous interior decorator. Conveniently for the story, both sons (who also become friends) follow the course laid down for them. Oliver Essex, a beautiful, spoiled child, grows into a handsome snob, treats his doting father like dirt. In spite of that, Essex continues to pamper him. But when Oliver, at 18, wants (and gets) one thing his father never had-a sophisticated beauty named Livia-the Essex-&-son relation blows up, Oliver refuses to return. Meanwhile, Rory O'Riorden becomes a leading Irish revolutionist, a good man wasted, as his father has long since...
...link a couplet with one preceding. In the next group of sentences, which I can compesitely number (5), the satirist temporarily abandons satire for a hurried description of municipal squalor. The passage is undigested and out of control. The professional coupleteer such as Gay or Churchill does not pamper his polemic with unadulterated description.

It is the same farm, lovingly elaborated, where Alfred lived as a boy. Natives still call him Bill, a nickname he got from worshipping a boyhood hero, Buffalo Bill...

This well-known phenomenon gives rise to a theory that the noses of many little girls become sensitive as they turn into young womanhood, and that this makes such girls sniff, lisp or pamper their noses in an apparently affected manner, and that this overture to womanhood causes an occasional girl to sneeze uncontrollably. That, a gynecologist might guess, was the trouble with Mary Cleer...
...Marry With Love" is no blot on the escutcheons of Warner Baxter or Myrna Loy, for the script's the script--stretch it, pamper it, bolster it as you may. The show starts with the marriage of Baxter and Myrna Loy, he a conscientious, hard-working architect; and she apparently a conventionally affectionate young bride. As the show progressed Baxter remained true to his original type, and to this added occasional drunken sprees which involved him, rather innocently, though not deeply with a gay young thing named Kitty. Naturally this brought chastisement from his wife. But she failed to realize...
