 Frederick A. Pope, whose voice and mnnpcrigms are remipiBcent of Victor Moore, questioned Tyrrcll nt length on the spelling of mote" when tho writer meant not. Tyrrcli insisted the mistaken spelling was unconscious rather than cnmouflagc. He explained that a German would pronounce not and mote" alike.
