...Priscilla, the nomination of 1924, who was pursued by redskin Hiram Johnson, Pilgrim Weeks promised her protection and put in a good word for his friend Captain Coolidge, to which she made answer: "Why does he not come himself and take the trouble to woo me? If I am not worth the wooing I am surely not worth the winning. Surely a maid worth courting must also be worth the asking. Granted Calvin is silent, he must find words if he wants me.
