...that moment, the improbable became the possible: the unpredictable Dodgers had a chance. Anything could happen: the Dodgers even tried to make the Lavagetto lightning strike twice. The Dodgers were in a fix again next day. Joe DiMaggio had slammed his second homer of the Series into the upper tier of the center-field stands, and the Yanks were leading.

No one could deny that, from a social point of view, Lakmé was practically ideal: it didn't matter too much if latecomers missed the first act, or spent the last act in the bar on the Grand Tier floor-the real attraction was the second-act "Bell Song," a coloratura showpiece and practically Pons's theme song.

...massive mountain of a woman, with crinkly brown hair, wide eyes and billowing chins.

Again & again she was caught red-handed in chicaneries that would have made a carnival rifter blush...
