...Elephants are the hardest of all game to photograph," said Mr. Johnson. "The herds which we generally see are limited to 150 animals, although it is reported that during the dry season vast herds of 2,000 or more travel from one water-hole to another. But they stampede so readily that we have to trail them for months before coming close enough to photograph...
...diplomatic corps performs socially in a tight little world of its own. The hostesses strive hardest to bring to their dinner tables the diplomats: Belgium's Prince de Ligne, Canada's Vincent Massey, England's Sir Esme Howard, Cuba's Señor Ferrara, Germany's Von Prittwitz und Gaffron, Hungary's Count Szechenyi, France's Paul Claudel.

...eleven months of her life. After that she went aboard her father's four-masted windjammer, a copra-trading schooner in the South Seas, and stayed there until she could stand her trick at the wheel, pull on the ropes, man the pumps, spit, and cuss with the hardest of shellbacks. After an initial mishap with plug tobacco, she "chawed dried prunes which made grand spit," and spit two successful curves on a single windy day. Aged seven, she further qualified as able-bodied seaman by swearing, without repeating herself, two minutes running. At 14 she could curse...
