I saw Emma and Jack off at the train. I carried two of her grips for her.
"Take Johnnie with you!" jovially shouted some of the boys—a motor car full of them—Phi Alphs—as we stepped to the station platform....
She answered them with a jolly laugh, a wave of the hand....
"No, I'll leave him here ... you need a few like him with you!"
"I have something on my conscience," remarked Miss Silverman to me, "Johnnie, do you really think that old professor was speaking the truth?"
"I'm sure of it, Miss Silverman."
"Why, then, I'm heartily sorry ... and it was rough of me ... and will you tell the professor for me that I sincerely apologise for having hurt his feelings ... tell him I have so many jackasses attending my lectures all over the country, who rise and say foolish and insincere things, just to stand in well with the communities they live in—that sometimes it angers me, their hypocrisy—and then I blaze forth pretty strong and lay them flat!"
