"Well, she is interesting," laughed Adams, "in spite of the fact that Perry finds her rather dull. He complains that she doesn't talk like a book, which is a trifle odd when you consider that he has never read one." "What I like about her is that she's different," said Kemper. "She is, isn't she?" "Different from other people? Yes, I dare say she is, but all the Wildes are that, you know.
Yes, this Special Court, having had all its misgivings, if it ever really had any, quieted by the answer of the council of ministers, was doing quick and fearful work.

Great book Intentions. Ever read it, Clarke? "Oh, confound your Wildes and Shaws; that's just what I object to.
