50 THE SKETCH Picturesque Speech and Patter Night clubs are places where tables are reserved and guests aren't. Our son rises at ten and sets all day. It is not so hard to live on a small salary if you don't spend too much money trying to keep it a secret. Small waves cluching the rowboat under the chin. Don't slam your mind in your face. He always sits with his back to the check. They buried the hatchet, but in a shallow, well-marked grave. I have crossed the homing pigeon with the woodpecker. It not only delivers the message, but it knocks on the door. My feet were so cold I was walking from memory. Reading that book will put your eyebrows on stilts. I've saved the money to pay my income tax, now all I have to do is to borrow some to live on. His tone not only closed the subject but it sat on the lid. He made his bedg now he's lying out of it. A winter sun crept in to warm it-self before the fire. The hall clock chewed its end of time. Radio Patter: Is that your original face or is that a retread? He began to soften toward her like a marshmallow. Coed to girl Friend: I have an uncomfortable feeling we're not being followed. After dinner remark: Now before I start I want to say something. Her words drifted over the truth, snowing it under with white lies. Women are always talking about amendments to their constitutions. His education is only pigskin deep. Critics straining at their adjectives. They gave each other a smile with a future in it. She was gnawing on her grievance like a dog on a bone. A seven year old with his teeth parted in the middle. My dwelling was small and I could hardly entertain an echo in it. Politicians talking about themselves red, white, and blue in the face. Women are like elephants. I like to look at them but I'd hate to own one. Friends: People who borrow my books and set wet glasses on them. The kind of girl men toast and women roast. A baby clouding up for a squall. A plump woman came through the door belt buckle first. A young man in his early flirties. He's the kind of guy who has the first dollar he ever owed. A bluebird carrying the sky on it's back. One woman's poise is another woman's poison. She gave him a lunch of cold shoulder and hot tongue. One learns in life to keep silent and draw one's own confusions. That family has enough troubles to be a radio serial. -Rnannxs Dlcasr
