Gunch was roaring, "Well, I'll take a chance " when Frink held up his hand and went on, "So if Verg and you insist, Georgie, I'll park my car on the wrong side of the street, because I take it for granted that's the crime you're hinting at!" There was a great deal of laughter. Mrs. Jones asserted, "Mr. Frink is simply too killing! You'd think he was so innocent!"
SENIO: differs from senectute in implying not merely old age, but the weakness which usually accompanies it. CONFECTUS: for the disregard of the final s in scanning cf. n. on 1, l. 6. EQUI VICTORIS: for the almost adjectival use of the substantive victor, cf. Verg.
On the sleeping-porch he puzzled, "She doesn't understand me. Hardly understand myself. Why can't I take things easy, way I used to? "Wish I could go out to Senny Doane's house and talk things over with him. No! Suppose Verg Gunch saw me going in there! "Wish I knew some really smart woman, and nice, that would see what I'm trying to get at, and let me talk to her and I wonder if Myra's right?
SPATIO SUPREMO: 'at the end of the race-course', 'at the goal', or it may be 'at the last turn round the course', the race requiring the course to be run round several times; cf. Homer's πυματον δρομον in Iliad 23, 768. So 83 decurso spatio; Verg. Aen. 5, 327 iamque fere spatio extreme fessique sub ipsam finem adventabant.
Putarent = 'thought, as they said'. ID QUOD ESSET ACCUSANDUM: the subjunctive esset is used because a class of things is referred to, 'nothing of a nature to deserve complaint'; id quod erat, etc. would have meant merely 'that one thing which was matter for complaint'. A. 320; G. 634, Rem. 1; H. 503, I. USU VENIRENT: the phrase usu venire differs very little in meaning from accidere. Verg.
NON PLUS QUAM: 'any more than'. After the negative ne above it is incorrect to translate non by a negative in English, though the repetition of the negative is common enough in Latin, as in some English dialects. Cf. n. on 24. Plus here = magis. QUOD EST: sc. tibi, 'what you have', so Paradoxa 18 and 52 satis esse, quod est. AGAS: quisquis is generally accompanied by the indicative, as in Verg.
Say, some of us are getting up a scheme we'd kind of like to have you come in on." "Fine, Verg. Shoot."
Sellar, Roman Poets of the Augustan Age. Virgil Ch. V. Boissier, Etudes sur M.T. Varron, Ch. IX. Servius Comm. in Verg. Georg. It does not appear that many of the commentators on Virgil have taken the trouble to study Varro thoroughly.
Could the fellows think I've gone nutty just because I'm broad-minded and liberal? Way Verg looked at me " MISS McGOUN came into his private office at three in the afternoon with "Lissen, Mr. Babbitt; there's a Mrs. Judique on the 'phone wants to see about some repairs, and the salesmen are all out. Want to talk to her?" "All right." The voice of Tanis Judique was clear and pleasant.
No one could long be serious in the presence of Vergil Gunch. "Ask Dant' how Jack Shakespeare and old Verg' the guy they named after me are gettin' along, and don't they wish they could get into the movie game!" he blared, and instantly all was mirth. Mrs. Jones shrieked, and Eddie Swanson desired to know whether Dante didn't catch cold with nothing on but his wreath.
