We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Heart Interest and Mr . A. H. Woods 35 “ ‘If you get the play, Al, I’ll do it — even if they shoot me.’ “ ‘What’s your salary, Louie?’ says I ; and he gives it a figure. “ ‘That ain’t right, Louie,’ says I ; and he swears himself blue telling me it’s his regular salary. “ ‘I’ll give you so much,’ says I, naming it; and he turns from blue to red because I’ve raised him a hundred for taking a chance.” “Immense!” I told Mr. Woods. “But how about 'Friendly Enemies’ being written in five days?” “Oh, I forgot to tell you that this talk was on Tuesday. Well, the next Sunday those guys, Shippy and Hoffman, turn up at my house and show me the completed play. “But that wasn’t the funniest thing they showed me. They showed me a bill for $150 for cigars smoked from Tuesday to Saturday. They couldn’t afford to write more than five days.”
