...hungry! Rest, sleep--healing, wonderful, the Fountain of Youth, a sulphur bath. (My father takes sulphur baths.) Like a mountain stream: cool, trebling, ceaselessly flowing. What is it? Who knows what it is? It alone has the same value for eternity; it alone is worthwhile. Boy, smell that bacon! I'll be down there in a jiffy...
...scraped up $35 to have Charlie McCarthy made by a wood carver named Charlie Mack. The model was an Evanston newsboy. After college, Bergen and McCarthy took a job in a vaudeville house near Chicago's stockyards, doing four shows a day for $8 a week and enduring a smell Charlie didn't notice.

Sulphurous, acrid, "like the smell of foul water in a sewer," it came from the almost-ripened potato plants, lay so thick that in some places it was visible as a whitish cloud above them. Where it appeared, leaves turned first purplish-brown, then black; stems withered, so that they broke at the touch, oozing a pus-colored liquid; the potatoes, when dug, were...
