Sunlight and Shadow
Excerpt from Sunlight and Shadow
The assembly bell was ringing as only an elec tric bell can ring. A busy, buzzing, incessant, self-important ring, which seemed to say: Dear me, what a stir I can create for a small thing! I'm an innovation, most decidedly, and the old order of things must give way to my energetic meth 'ods. The days of those cumbersome big bells have passed away forever, with their slow, ponderous, take-your-time strokes. In this day and age I am needed, and no one can misunderstand my peremptory: Hustle! Hus tle! Get busy! Get busy! Do it now! Do it now!
