...earned the undying scorn of the Boston sportswriters (and perhaps also some gratitude for providing copy) by leaving two of their darlings, Chet Boulris and Bill Gundy, off the first team.

Fortunately, the dullards around them dream up one bright idea: they contrive that an eavesdropping Benedick shall hear that Beatrice absolutely dotes on him, that an ear-cocked Beatrice shall learn that Benedick is half...
