while he was trying to figure out
the solution he spied pile Of ostrich

He selected sturdy young buck as his

Mere attention to words is not
enough; for real style is not a matter
Of showiness. Solicitude over verbal
niceties quenches the ardour Of mag

be lost, IL one by prolonged and
judicious reading acquires a plentiful
stock Of words and applies thereto
skill In arrangement, and, further,
strengthens the whole by abundant
