Children — Little creatures usually employed to bring about a happy ending. The Human Touch — Scenes introduced in a film as contrast from shooting, rapine, drunkenness, and sundry brutality. Kittens — Four-footed, hairy little animals employed to. express the "human touch." Puppies — See "Kittens." Wet Pavement — Asphalt road used specially for automobiles to skid on.
