...thousands of miles away. It is they who in large measure furnish supplies of relies for tourists in "rubberneck wagons"; and these, doubtless, groan over the ignorant sightseers and their complete lack of appreciation.

...Lawrence writes brilliantly: his style is his own and it is rarely a dull one. His stories are not slovenly. Most of his characters are real at times. The plots are ingenious as in "Samson and Delilah" where an errant husband turns up unexpectedly after fifteen years. He has humour as in "Monkey Nuts...
