...rampant, unconventional nature of these impish terrors is too much for the Colonel and it is most amusing to see them making excellent sport of his elevated, stiff lectures on good behavior. We are regretful when the host of adventures ends, at long last, with the children being sent away to school...
...Physiology and Zoology departments shows a formidable array of costly technical instruments and special materials. The Physiology department maintains an animal colony at an annual expense of $1,600 not including the general expense of proper ventilation. Careful experimentation, for instance, is now being made on the behavior of rats and mice when exposed to unusual conditions, such as being placed on a sloping surface. Inheritance in animals is another subject of experiment now. A pure breed of rats has been bred generation after generation by mating brother with sister; but for the most accurate results, animals must be kept...
...included a smallbore rifle and cartridges. (It later developed that he was expected to compete in a shoot at Chicago's North Shore Gun Club.) And he was extraordinarily fussy about taking a brown-paper parcel into the cabin with him. The porter decided Mr. Smith's behavior was not ominous enough to warrant reporting.

Three hours later...
Tira's manners in this scene are congruous with her past.

After ejecting Kirk's fiancee, Tira receives another...
...Marconi microwaves approach heat waves in shortness and light waves in behavior. They can be focused as a beam and sent in any direction. Theoretically they should be perceptible only just beyond the visible horizon of the sending station. Senator Marconi has made them register over a distance of 180 mi., or nine times his sending station's visible horizon, and has been able to communicate with them clearly and powerfully at five times the horizon. They register beyond mountains. Whether they bend over the mountain tops or go right through the mountains, he last week declared...
