CHAPTER

The Importance of Sensible

In the 30s and before to call somebody a pup was a major insult. It's because of words like sensible that have a slightly different meaning than they do today. And then finally you really feel the humanity of these people because their actual words are more or less being transcribed. You get a slice of old New York. You get Comatability. You get Vow and V. Every two weeks I answer a couple in writing on the site, not here. If you'd like to leave a comment or subscribe, please visit BookSmartstudios.org.
