...cannot afford to waste an hour with a group of girls who apparently know nothing about Shakspere. The bang of the door upon his angry retreat is an effective spanking administered to our abysmal ignorance.

I have a couple of plugs up at the poor farm that sin't doing much, so I guess I'll let him have one of them.
