To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his gay and flippant moments Jerry had often averred that Old Man Hammock looked like a de termined Old Duck in fact, he had a Jaw like a miniature Snow-plow. Yet, when Jerry got out side the Boss Threshold and came up for Air, so to speak in the language of the U-Boaters, he fig ured that Old Hammock s bawling out was just a lot of Dead Talk stuffed with big Words and strung with Wires. Notice that I say he "figured" that way. But, while Jerry may have been a World- beater at the newest Tic...kle-toe and a Riot with the Feminine Contingent of Pulchritude, he never was a candidate for a C. P. A. Degree. The net result of his Trial-balancing was that, a week or two thereafter, he was told gently but firmly that Hammock s would have to swing along without his Able Assistance. Did Jerry the Joy Boy take it hard to Heart? Nay, nay, Mazurka! Why worry about Jobs when Good Men were always in demand? And why work for a Bolsheviky Boss who insisted on The Late Mr. Jazz 49 knowing what a Man did with his Evenings when it was none of his bloomin business?
