26. lappuse - People think I can teach them style. What stuff it all is ! Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret of style.

They all use articles of more or less timeliness, but beyond this one similarity they are no more alike in character than an American, an Irishman, an Englishman, a Welshman and a Scot.
