From The Man from Home by Booth Tarkington

male · contemplative · 57 sec

I know I'd be welcome; and if you ever get out as far as Indiana, don't miss Kokomo--the depot hackman will tell you where to find me, and the boys will help me show you a good time. You'd like it, Doc-- (He stops, horrified at his slip of the tongue.) (VASILI: I know that.) I don't know how to call you by name, but I reckon you'll understand I do think an awful lot of you. VASILI (as they shake hands). My friend, I have confided to you that you are a great man. But a great man is sure to be set upon a pedestal by some pretty lady. (ETHEL turns away.) It is a great responsibility to occupy a pedestal. On that account I depart in some anxiety for you.
