Don’t I contribute to it ?’ ’Of course you do,’ he said placatingly, but there was an edge of disgust in his voice, ’but you contribute different things. You don’t contribute money.’ ’My work enables you to make that money !’ ’Oh, Mira, don’t be ridiculous. Do you think I need you to do my work ? I could live anywhere, I could have a housekeeper, or live in a hotel. I support your way of life by my

of Chandrapore. Near the base of the murky, dirty river there are filthy alleys where the Indians live, whereas the Civil Station, which houses the English, literally is positioned on higher ground and has many beautiful gardens with flowers adorning the outside of homes with a beautiful view of the river (5). The scenery changes drastically when the narrative describes the civil station as opposed to the civil lines. Physically, the Civil Station is mounted on a hill. The Indians who live in

Jeanne and Yvonne — conspicuous among the recent rash of movie-star first names, dictated by the mysteries of Hollywood “numerology” which cause the Roman Catholic clergy such distress at baptism. Not only are towns all over the Middle West named such things as Prairie du Chien and Vincennes, not only are their leading families named Sublette and Le Sueur and Deslauriers, but — something very few people realize — French life survived intact in hundreds of small isolated communities until well into the

I mention this incident to illustrate the lack of conventionality and whimsical originality of the man, that stood out no less forcibly in his writings than in his daily life. He had little use for "doing the usual thing in the usual sort of way." He first gained prominence by his book of verse, Yawps (1900). His poems were free from convention in technique as well as in spirit, although their chief innovation was simply that as a rule there was no regular number of

of literature, mind you; just plain ‘theory’. To anyone outside the field, this usage must seem very odd. ‘Theory of what?’ you want to ask. It’s surprisingly hard to say. It is not the theory of anything in particular, nor a comprehensive theory of things in general. Sometimes theory seems less an account of anything than an activity – something you do or don’t do.

Mais, au-delà, l'intérêt que portent, de façon quelque peu grotesque, les deux protagonistes

stout woman, bareheaded and wearing a large apron, called to her from the pavement, "You are up early, Madame Lantier!" Gervaise leaned out. 5 "Ah, is it you, Madame Boche! Yes, I am up early, for I have much to do today." "Is that so? Well, things don't get done by themselves, that's sure!" And a conversation ensued between the window and the sidewalk. Mme Boche was the concierge of the house wherein the restaurant Veau à Deux Têtes occupied the rez-de-chaussée. Many times Gervaise had waited

the times and setting, most of the individuals interviewed did not want their names to be used in this article because they are afraid it will only increase the constant harassment they receive. One person said he understands that when people say things like "That's so gay!" they just mean that "something is stupid." "Even though I know what they are talking about, it is still hurtful," he said. Many around campus feel that it is wrong when people are treated differently because they are gay.
