...raising the juror's fee from $10 to $20 a day (and $16 a night for those who travel long distances and must stay overnight), the courts also implied that they would no longer excuse many persons who claim that jury duty is a financial burden.

He observes that the virtues of such women, products of pre-tax wealth and protracted social training, are unlikely to survive the times. Fondly, he seeks to preserve their manners and their memory. If Miss Alexandria seems not entirely real except to his eye, what matter? Affection, especially in much of modern literature, is a rare commodity. Like the loyalty of a husband to an unattractive wife, Richter's affection for this Main Street Auntie Mame ends up being somewhat touching...
