The purser said that the dragon's name was Mrs. Scrivener-Yapling, with a hyphen. The hyphen was a very important part of the name, and Mrs. Scrivener-Yapling always insisted upon it. Any one who ignored that hyphen speedily fell from the good graces of Mrs. Scrivener-Yapling. I regret to say, however, in spite of the hyphen, the lady was very generally known as the "dragon" during that voyage.
If its influence is partial, the emphasis is before the hyphen, upon the ostensible. If its influence is unchecked, the emphasis is after the hyphen upon the apparently latent sex.
"In the carriage to the hyphen chap's place, to be sure. Fainting spell weak heart, what! No stimulants about. Passing house! Perhaps have stimulants heart tablets, er beer things of that sort. Lead him in. Revive him. Quite well presently, but not well enough to go on. Couldn't let a piano Johnny die on our hands, what! Inquest, evidence, witnesses all that silly rot. Save his life, what!

Louis the question of the attitude of the Convention and the party toward the "hyphen" vote came up for consideration, and there were indications that certain members of the Committee on Resolutions were inclined to ignore the matter of the hyphen and to remain silent on this grave issue.

But, in fact, they are assisted by a permanent Under-Secretary, who manages all the routine business, who is the depository of the secrets of the office, who embodies its traditions, who is the hyphen between changing administrations.
He undertakes likewise to provide her pin-money. Also, let me observe, that it is his request but he makes no stipulation of it that you will ultimately assume the name of Beltham, subscribing yourself Harry Lepel Richmond Beltham; or, if it pleases you, Richmond-Beltham, with the junction hyphen. Needless to say, he leaves it to your decision. And now, Mr.
"What a damn-fool he is, Opdyke!" he remarked, with stress upon the hyphen. "Yes, and no. If I were going to analyze him, I'd write his formula as B M+ECo , thrice brilliant man plus and, mind you, the plus is a serious handicap an embodied conscience raised to the seventh power.
