Ingratitude: 1. A girl who is too busy to acknowledge receipt of a Christmas present. 2. The portion of the man who has done well; and a fight with the fox you have warmed into life is imminent.
Infusoria: The entire human race with the exception of Homer, Richard Wagner, Dante, Victor Hugo, Balzac, Rodin, Raphael, Æschylus, Shakespeare, Schopenhauer and Edward Bok, in whose tremendous skulls we live and move and have our being, like a whirlwind of germs in the vats of the Absolute.
Ingrate: Any person who has got something for nothing, and wants more on the same terms.
Initiative: Doing the right thing without being told.
Irony: The cactus-plant that sprouts over the tomb of our dead illusions.
