On Re-Readins a Good Book
-Bv ROBERT BENCHLEY-

There is no doubt that in
many modern novels you get
"a feeling" for things. You
get a feeling for old Southern
pappies soaking the blood off
their knuckles, and you get a
feeling for anchovie paste in
Mayfair. Once in a while you
can recognize a character the
second time you come across
him. And, occasionally, a
writer will let himself go mid
Victorian enough to write a SEN
tence that will parse. But,
when you put the plot, the
characters and the style to-
gether in one bundle, you get
a unit-effect something like
those long tables of Swedish
hors d'oeuvres. It really doesn't
make up into a very nourish-
ing meal.
People who begin sentences
with Il may be old-fashioned
but" are usually not only old
fashioned but wrong. I never
thought the time would come
when I should catch myself
leading off with that crack.
But I feel it coming on right
now. I may be old-fashioned
but I still feel that a writer
has a certain obligation to his
readers. If he is going to write
a book (and Heaven knows
there is no law making him do
it) he might go at least half
way toward making it under
standable. That seems little
enough to ask.
And I am just ill-tempered
enough to maintain that a
writer who doesn't make his
book understandable to a mod

my new little bunny. / call
my old bunny Lady Bunny now
instead Of Miss Bunny as I
used to do. And the new little
one is Sir Bunny. 1 think both
deserve q title.
You remember the old
bunny, Lady Bunny, could do
cute tricks. But my new one
can do even cutter ones. We
put a box in the yard and
when Sir Bunny sees it he
jumps into it and stays a
minute or two and then jumps
out again and stays another
minute or two and back he
goes into the box. He will keep
this up until we put him in
his cage. He can stand on his
back feet and beg for food and
lots Of other tricks. We are
teaching him to jump through
our hands.
LADY BUNNY" JEALOUS
Lady Bunny is very, very
jealous of Sir Bunny and does
not like him much. / think
she likes him a little better
now, however, than she did at
first.
1--WE have a pIay.rabbit in
the yard and when we first
got Sir Bunny the first thing
he did was to find out if it was
real. Both Lady Bunny and
Sir Bunny are great eaters and
are as fat and cunning as can
be. Sir Bunny is only a few
months old but Lady Bunny Is
an old lady of two years.

Jane and Mrs. LongearS went in
and saw the bunny uncle, with his
sleeves rolled up, and wearing a
big apron, washing the dishes, they
smiled and said:
"Oh, how nice!'
Indeed he is nice" said the cat
lady, who was in bed Il don't
know what I would have done if he
hadn't come to help me-"
I'VE are going to help you, tool
said Nurse Jane, and she and Mrs.
Longears helped by sweeping and
busting the rooms, brushing the
cat lady's fur and making her some
catnip tea.
Meanwhile Uncle Wiggily was
washing the dishes. And about this
same time the Fox met the Wolf
in the woods and said:
Il know how we can catch Uncle
Wiggilyl"
"How?" asked the Wolf.
He has gone to call on the old
witch cat" whispered the Fox. He
went in to have his fortune told
When he comes out he will be
thinking SO much about what the
old cat told him that he will not
see us. We can wait outside the
door and grab him when he hops
out"
"Surel" whispered the Wolf. So
the two Bad Chaps waited. Then, all
of a sudden, Uncle Wiggily opened
the door.
Here he comeS!" barked the Fox.
But the rabbit had only opened the
door to throw out a pan of dish
water that wouldn't go down the
sink because it was stopped up.
And Mr. Longears threw the soapy
dish water all over the Fox and
Wolf, much to their surprise. Away
they ran with loud howls. The bun
ny laughed and shut the door and
soon after that the sick cat lady
was we'll and after Uncle Wiggily
had talked to them none of the ami

So this teaches us that it is a
good thing to wash dishes. And if
