Jim Beaver quotes:
"'Are you lost daddy' I arsked tenderly. 'Shut up' he
explained." Ring Lardner 1885-1933, The Young Immigrunts,
1920, chapter 10.
************ I just finished an Edmund Wilson essay about why
people read detective stories, and he mentions that he's sure
the Ring Lardner will be read far beyond his time, and I was
laughing to myself thinking how Edmund had gotten that one
wrong.
