...elements of popularity; without a decent actor in the cast it would go big in Skowhegan, Maine. Indeed, its first performance on any stage was Down East somewhere under the title of Tommy Helps Himself. And they...
...both startling and thorough. Although I devoted, as requested, special pains and over 3,000 words to the gowning of my theme, when it actually appeared it was only half clothed--and radically differently, at that.

I've read "Her Son's Wife" and "A Manifest Destiny" too, and honest, I simply can't see how your minds work to think these are "good books." Just out of curiosity I think I'll try a couple of others, shutting my eyes to choose. I predict not one in three is any good, but it so happens I now have time to waste...
