...Ambassador, John North Willys, who wisely sold his common stock for $20,000,000 in 1929, was home from Poland and again in control of his company because it had passed its fourth consecutive preferred dividend. He is living in his Fifth Avenue home in Manhattan, but the sojourn has been punctuated by many trips to Toledo where he stays at the Toledo Club and goes to his factory at 8 a. m., often remaining until midnight. Willys-Overland is bidding sharply for a place in the less-than-$500 field...
...Vagabond, returning to his proper business after a too long sojourn in fields remote, has been meditating on certain great men of the past.

Such redundant phrases, frequently occurring, as "protested the impossibility...
...Vagabond has fled the halls of Harvard and betaken himself to a fairer place than even Cambridge town, which is not difficult if he remembers his Cambridge. Inasmuch as he plans to sojourn here for some weeks far from the madding crowd it will be best to describe this place for his readers. There are no Georgian Houses with gold leaf and emblazoned shields, there are no Georgian cafeterias, there are no Deans, and there is no scaffolding to hide the works...
