...Every windy, youthful vaunt is, we are told, unfulfilled; if Vridar omits the payment of a laundry bill, every detail of the transaction is coldly and unemotionally reported, until the reader wallows in a sea of sordid insignificance. In Mr. Fisher's love scenes the words "ecstasy," "tenderness," and "delight" are literally present; but there is no love scene which does not end in recrimination and violence, no meeting of Vridar and Neloa which is free from physical horror, blows, screams, and tears.

Throughout the first period the referees shut their eyes to the fiercest kind of rough-&-tumble while Bostonians screeched their delight. In the second period Toronto's truculent "Red" Homer crashed into Boston's "Eddie" Shore, sent him sprawling against the boards. Shore picked himself up, skated straight into Toronto's "Ace" Bailey. When Bailey's head hit the ice, everyone in the Boston Garden could hear the thud. While Bailey's teammates carried him to the dressing room, twitching and writhing with a fractured skull, Horner whizzed up to Shore, whammed...
