About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos.

And I think that in his secret heart and at the bottom of the old haircloth round-top trunk he is a dramatist. He good-naturedly deprecates that people praise Archy the Vers Libre Cockroach and clamour for more; while Hermione, a careful and cutting satire on the follies of pseudokultur near the Dewey Arch, elicits only a mild, mild smile. As he puts it: A chair broke down in the midst of a Bernard Sh...
