The purple grapes had also moved and peeped coyly from a thicket of moth-eaten rosebuds. The wearer of this revamped millinery triumph seemed a bit nervous, even anxious, so it seemed to Martha Phipps, who, like Cabot and Galusha, was looking at her.
Or, as a poor bungling parodist revamped it: Pep is the stuff to put Old Time on skids Pep in your copy, yes, and lots of kids. It is true that Shakespeare hints another way of doing you in, which is to write sonnets as good as his. This way, needless to add, is open to few.
We have before had occasion to remark that Smith's memory had the peculiarity of growing stronger and more minute in details the further he was removed in point of time from any event he describes. The revamped narrative is worth quoting in full for other reasons. It exhibits Smith's skill as a writer and his capacity for rising into poetic moods.

The large picture on the left a view of paradise is full of energetic and beautiful figures, combined with much dramatic effect and great technical skill. The opposite pictures, representing hell, were not by Andrew, but by Bernard Orgagna, a man of far inferior calibre. They have, moreover, been entirely revamped.
Most of us recognize that none of these tools can be put to maximum effectiveness unless the executive processes of government are revamped reorganized, if you will into more effective combination.

But the obvious snags were rapidly disposed of, and the whole revamped operation was outlined on paper in surprisingly few hours.
