Excerpt from Pa's Picnic, Vol. 5: A Rural Play in Two Acts
Betty is gently swinging in the hammock. Roslyn burton stands facing her, endeavoring to strike an attitude while grasping the ropes of hammock.
Betty. So you do not approve of my plan to give a house-party? I think it would be a lark to have Amy, Max and Gertrude and one or two more of the college men, if we can get them to come. What's your objection, Ross?
Ross. Oh, the house and the Whole farm would be buz zing with a lot of. Crazy idiots who want you to do this or that tiresome stunt, anything but what a fellow would rather do.
Betty. I am not so sure about that. Men are pretty much alike. Perhaps they would all like to do just what you prefer.
