Julian was only 18 but he was "kind of tired." Living on his queer uncle's som-nolescent farm outside of Charlottesville, Va. suited him, but attending lectures at the University was a reccurrent chore that got increasingly hard to do. There were other, more important complications. First was Marty, who had loved Julian for a long time but not quite enough to let him seduce her. It was on a weekend at her aristocratically shabby farm that Julian met complication No. 2. Ann was Marty's cousin, but prettier and much bolder. She liked Julian right away...
...avidly I ran across the interesting and touching "Don't you bite, Bing" on p. 22 stating the shepherd dog was found rabid, foaming at the mouth and putting the boy owners in grave personal danger. I just finished Albert Payson Terhune's article "Queer Things About Your Dog," which states, on his long experience as a breeder of prize collies, that a dog foaming at the mouth is not rabid-that a dog foams at the mouth from a number of causes, and that a rabid dog is too sick and dazed to hurt anyone...

Many a collector would swap A1 (?) stocks and bonds or real estate for good stamps, knowing their investment would be safer...
...their guests are dining on cold roast beef, boiled potatoes and stale bread, more motorists arrive, a Welsh millionaire (Charles Laughton) and his tricky mistress (Lillian Bond). The type of hospitality to be expected in an establishment of this sort reaches its peak when the butler, who is queer when sober and mad while drunk, gulps down a bottle of gin and opens the door of a room which contains a criminal lunatic who tries to cut off Melvyn Douglas's head with a carving knife. Good shot: the criminal lunatic (Brember Wells) boasting that he knows more arson...
