None but the orthodox need apply. I, however, believe in the intellectual, if not the moral, qualities of vegetables, and especially weeds. When it came out of the ground, it looked around to see what it should do. The trellis was already occupied. The bean-pole was empty. There was evidently the a little best chance of light, air, and sole proprietorship on the pole.
And, in passing, led on by her desire of ridiculing all women, she gaily made sport of her co-workers in the great project; unknown literary women, school teachers, whose lives were embittered by their ugliness, painters of flowers and doves, a throng of poor women with extravagant hats and clothes that looked as though they were hung on a bean-pole; feminine Bohemians, rebellious and rabid against their lot, who were proud to have her as their leader and who made it a point to call her "Countess" in sonorous tones at every other word, in order to flatter themselves with the distinction of this friendship.
"And if only you had kept your head about that bean-pole of a Helen, in her yellow wig for I have not a doubt that every strand of it is false, and at all events this is not a time to be arguing about it, Jurgen, why, then you would never have meddled with Uncle Phobetor!

"You mighty peart, Chunk, co'tin' a gal lie a bean-pole a'ready.
His was a handsome face. When lighted up by the excitement of debate it could not fail to impress an audience. Lincoln indulged in no gesticulation. If he had been addressing a bench of judges he would not have been more impassive in his manner. He was an animate, but not an animated, bean-pole. He poured out a steady flow of words three to Douglas's two in a simple and semi-conversational tone.
