"Let's see." He borrowed Scotty's earpiece and held it to his own ear. For a second he listened, horrified. It sounded like the Battle of Bull Run! Barby broke in faintly through the noise. "Rick!
Blanco, the wooden horse painted white on a former "sorority spree," was cleared by Maud the scientific, and she came up to Jane, a question in the sudden jerk of her bobbed head. "Jane, will you help us organize a ghost raid? We cannot have the freshies all scared blue by someone's nonsense, and Dozia, Inez, Winifred and I have done all we could in the way of investigation.
"She sent me a mackinaw in place of my burned coat, and her picture was in the pocket. I kept it." "I should think you would. She's a peach, and clever, too, I understand. She's billed at Poli's." "Yes, I'm going to see her." "Take me around, will you?" "Sure, if you like." "I like all right. Hark, someone's coming!" and Dunk slipped to the door and put on the chain.
Rynch chewed that over, came up with the obvious explanation. "All right so then maybe our blue-backed friends are imported. Suppose someone's running a private business of his own here and wants to get rid of visitors?" Hume looked thoughtful. "No." He did not enlarge upon his negative.

He checked himself abruptly, and again a terrible shivering seized him. Sir Reginald bent over him. "Pull yourself together, man! You'll need all your strength. Please God, she'll be better when you get there!"
Miss Francis startled me with a laugh resembling the burst of machinegun fire. "Someone's been pulling your leg, poor terrified Maecenas. Or else youre befuddled with too many Thrilling Wonder Scientifictions. Pipes into the stratosphere! Watersupply piped in through concrete walls! Doesnt your mad inventor know the seeds would find these apertures in an instant?"
But when one has selected with satisfaction perhaps a hundred and fifty titles, one begins to get into the potboiler class the written-to-order information book which may be guaranteed to kill all future interest in a subject treated in style so wooden and lifeless; the retold classic in which every semblance to the spirit of the original is lost, and the reading of which will give to the child that familiarity which will breed contempt for the work itself; the atrocious picture book modeled after the comic supplement and telling in hideous daubs of color and caricature of line the tale of the practical joker who torments animals, mocks at physical deformities, plays tricks on parents, teases the newlywed, ridicules good manners, whose whole aim, in short, is to provoke guffaws of laughter at the expense of someone's hurt body or spirit.
Ask someone's advice about the books you read someone who is capable of giving such advice: your pastor, your teachers, and frequently your parents and friends. Learn all through your life to ask advice on every important matter. How many mistakes in life would have been prevented if those making them had only asked advice from the proper persons and followed it.
