Return of Little Big Man
“Doing Well IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING that sighting of Wyatt Earp, I brooded a good deal on the situation which I was apparently stuck with lifelong, namely, being naturally attracted to a lady superior to me in most every department.
But you might well ask why I never done more to improve myself, beginning with trying to use better English. Well, to be fair to me, I did and though I would talk better for a while, it didn’t stick for long at a time. I remember that German friend of mine back at the ...Major’s school, Klaus Kappelhaus, told me he knowed how to talk better in his adopted language than you would think if you heard him only late in the day when he was tired.... Which reminds me of how tired I am at this minute, after talking so long into this machine since my last rest, way back when telling of our second trip to Europe, but I got so much to relate and so little time.
So I did improve my speech by picking up words and grammar from Amanda, along with the other ladies on the staff at Hull House, and I even tried some of Buffalo Bill’s rhetorical flourishes, which I admit impressed me all the more for him having no more education than me, but Amanda generally caught these right away and warned me against them.MoreLess
