Excerpt from Mr. Billy Buttons: A Novel

Another wild, plaintive laugh. Jenny was a pretty girl. The handsome face, with the strange, hery, wandering blue eyes, curved in suppressed laughter. It has always been a strange thing to me the pleasure that idiots take in being praised. This reminds me that more than twenty years ago I prepared a paper on the Sensibility oi Idiots to Flattery. I read it to Jenks; he laughed at it, called it unscientific. Jenks is a New York specialist, which means unbounded egotism, linked with scepticism of other men's works.
