...there you don't find any of Cambridge with its everpresent carbon monoxide from cars, with the soot from factories close-by, with all the dirt in the streets and yard cops and pan-handlers, with slums lying close to luxurious red-brick houses, with parking spaces and no-parking places, with rearing trucks at night and clattering milk cans inevitable in the morning--all these things don't exist in that wonderful country where men are men and won't borrow from the government, where the country is green and the roads bad, where girls giggle in the streets...

Forty-two-year-old Mrs. Davis, having been a professional pianist at the age of 10, having mothered five children, and taken a fling at Tin Pan Alley (Yon Are the Reason for My Love Song), had decided on a plunge into serious composition.

Many a tearful child has been told of the Spartan boy who hid a fox under his shirt, never even winced when the fox bit him and kept on biting him, finally fell dead, still with a dead pan.
