Pipper's imaginative description ends too abruptly to be really satisfactory; but one fact about the life of Jabez Puffwater will remain emblazoned on America's history for time immemorial that if he had only possessed the rhetoric of a Proon the presence of a Hooter the education of a Floop the racial understanding of a Bogtoe and the mentality of a Snurge he would not only have proved himself invaluable to the home constituency of Oggsville, Ken. but have been an entirely different man altogether.
Little boys on their way home from school would throw mud at him, but he never heeded them; little girls would make rude noises quite near him with their rubber overshoes, but he ignored them utterly. I often wonder on looking back what Douglas Bogtoe would have been had he but possessed one half of Puffwater's concentrated repose.
