boys to get busy and collect those premiums.”

He argued himself out of the strict insurance principle as a matter of public necessity, but said, “Don't let any money escape you. Get that money.”

There was always this human angle. I think it goes with the same type of mind that likes to read novels. He liked to read novels. He read anything, just for the story. He didn't like the modern, psychoanalytical novel. He liked Bulwer-Lytton, A Tale of Two Cities, Vanity Fair. He liked good novels, but novels. I must say that in later years he came down to reading anything - whodunits as much as anything else. That was because he didn't have time to buy books. He didn't have time to read the booklists. When he did, he was much more likely to check the books that had to do with geography and history, which were really prime interests with him. He wanted to own those books, whether he ever looked at them or not. Hardly anybody wants to read a modern novel, but he would read whatever fell into his hands. He wasn't awfully fussy. He did like a good story, which explored personality against the events of a period, or a situation however contrived it may be by the author - personality meets the situation and these are the reactions. That's the novel pattern and he liked that.
