Experience of the workaday kind that might, like the coffee grinder at the bottom of the sea, go on turning out a man's salt for the rest of his life. An ordeal of caricature for both innocent and the guilty has been won by the swollen importance of undergraduate publication activity in the eyes of a self-conscious few. In reality these are outnumbered by the many who see it merely as one of the ways of learning his own possibilities. Such training may rarely produce vocational certainties and its specific usefulness is as various as individuals...

Other stockholders complained of "stores fitted out like palaces" unable to draw trade; lack of display of the Childs' name; "water should be served with meals...
...happy. When she ran off to "park her girdle" he was made flabby with enjoyment. When a perfume was described as "one of the six best smellers," when a person was described as "the knife of the party," when nephew salutes uncle with, "Hello Epsom, old salt!" the man's guffaws annoyed his grouchy neighbors. He was panting at the finish, with joy, for the nephew was going to marry the girl, the absurd female cinema censor was going to marry a Jewish cinemaker, the old bachelor was going to marry a woman whose age approached his own.
