Synopsis
Excerpt from The Permanent Ade
He experimented in his columns with different literary forms. One morning in September 1897 it occurred to him that one form he had not yet tried. Why not a fable for a change, written in vernacular speech, including slang, with no pretense to dignityp He felt a little ashamed of his departure from accepted English and for more than a year he did not again resort to slang. When he finally did, he was careful to apply a label, a fable in slang, to let readers see that he was only cutting up and knew better.
