Il am very nervous for two weeks
before making an after-dinner speech.
II Il q very serious matter with me.
You have to study the question about
which you are to speak from every
side. and It keeps you awake nights
thinking Of good things to say.
THE idea prevails that all an after
dinner speaker has to do is to assume
. full-dress suit and slowly rise up
when called upon and captiyate the
audience with wit and eloQuence.
eff the after-dInner speaker told the
truth, he would acknowledge that for
two long, sickening weeks his wife and
children have been made wretched by
listening to recitals, and that he has
