...precisely the wanted effect, and this same interpretation is perfect, meshing with the ex-mistress' calculating shrewdness, when the two finally meet. Phoebe, the symbol of fame's temptation, is admirably played by Sarah Braveman. Her Tallulah Bankhead reading of the part manages to suggest both the grossness and warmth of her character...
Cold beyond help of padded clothing or any flask of liquid warmth, a hunter can still come alive to the heart-moving sight of "White Wavys" (snow geese) settling into range or the whisper of duck wings in the reeds just before the birds take off.

Fransioli's neatness and light reminded proper Bostonians of their childhood, and Down East ladies...
...Roman Catholic attitude toward their Protestant friends is that of a happy family secure in a warm house whose neighbors are wandering in the dark, looking for the light. We would gladly welcome them into our light and warmth, but feel we may be excused when we are asked to come out and grope in the darkness with them...
