The elegance and taste of patient culture have been vulgarized by forced contact with the unpresentable facts thrust upon us by the ready writer. Everybody now sighs for the new periodical, while nobody has read the literature of any single age in any single country.
She knitted her brows and looked at me puzzled. "If you want to talk to me," she said, "you must talk straight. I've had no more education than a tinker's dog."
