One day she finished a novel at one o'clock in the morning—ami she began another that very night. Turning out i copy is a function with Mme. Sand.” Phonetic Stuff. An Irish boy, during a Scripture examination, was asked: “What will become of the proud man?” “He’ll be turned into ac animal," was the prompt, reply. “An animal!
