Don't you see what I mean?" she would say. "In the first place, it's hard to remember. And it lacks force. Or maybe rhythm. It doesn't clink. It sort of humps in the middle. A name should flow. Take a name like Barrymore or Bernhardt or Duse you can't forget them. Oh, I'm not comparing myself to them. Don't be funny. I just mean why, take Harrietta alone. It's deadly.

There ain't much dirt we haven't kicked up! Asia, Africa a regular Cook's tour through Europe, North and South Ameriky. And what seas, Bub!" His voice faltered.

"See if the paddle's anywhere around," Bert said. His voice was awful funny sharp kind of, as if he meant business. "What do you want that for?" I asked him, all excited. "Look and see do as I tell you," he just said. It was in the smashed canoe and I just stood there holding it. "What'll I do with it?" I asked him. "Just hold it," he said.
Funny thing ... I ... felt nothing at all ... nothing ... until just now!" The actor took hold of his arm and steadied him. "Queer how nerves affect people," he said, as John and he left the stage.
