The Husband God Gave Me suggested yesterday that we go antique shopping at one of our favorite places. He had to pick up his rental car at the airport, and that put us on the path to the town of Lowell. Lowell has an antiques mall called Flat River Antiques. We've had some great times there. But, no more. They were having a 'Going Out of Business' sale. I did find this book, marked $28 for only $2. It is a first edition, copyright 1908. It's nicely worn, but full of interesting selections for elocution. I've never elocuted before, but should I ever want to, now I could. Of course, the reason I bought it is that it's green!

Elocuted??? what on earth....but hey, it ends in cute, it must be good.
What a difference a century makes!
ok, I'm off to dictionary.com....
THAT's real helpful:
declaim in an elocutionary manner; "The poet elocuted beautifully
so if you ever elocute (especially if you declaim too), please let me know!
I might actually elocute. But I will NEVER declaim!
There are pictures of THAT scattered throughout the book, and it looks extremely strange to me.
All the gesturing and posing...not gonna do it.
