Excerpt from The Enchanted Type-Writer
My heart - though for composing give me the pen. Perhaps I should apologize for the use here of the verb monkey, which savors of what a friend of mine calls the 'english slanguage, to differentiate it from what he also calls the Andrew Language. But I shall not do so, be cause, to whatever branch of our tongue the word may belong, it is exactly de scriptive, and descriptive as no other word can be, of what a boy does with things that click and go, and is there fore not at all out of place in a tale which I trust will be regarded as a polite one.
