...Every girl--colleen, pardon me -- is a type; if she's rude, she is a hoyden; if lewd, a minx; if lovely, a nymph; if lovely and black-eyed, a houri (that comes from an Arabian word, he parenthesized with a smack of his lips). Now, you may think there is no difference between a vixen, for which are wrongly substituted the obsolete words 'virago' and 'termagant,' and a shrew. But there is! A shrew is always a brawling woman, while a vixen is merely bad-tempered...
...also known by a few that baseball permeates Harvard, Hawk-eyes may suspect such a fact by the frequent smack of ball against glove on the greens of the Houses, especially by the activity on Soldier's Field. Baseball is good at Harvard, too, and for several years Cambridge teams have sparkled in collegiate competition.

...doddering Lord Burleigh (Morton Selten). In a hand-to-hand combat between Michael Ingolby and Michael Strogoff, the correct odds would be even money. In addition to burning the Armada with the aid of seven men in rowboats, Ingolby escapes from a Spanish galleon, sails in a fishing smack from Spain to England, foils an attempt on the Queen's life, uncovers a Spanish plot to assassinate her, impersonates a traitor to his land at the court of Spain's King Philip II, defeats the King's palace guard in a fencing match and accompanies...
