middle mush' and that 'intellectuals are increasingly tempted to play to mass audiences'.Ex: He felt like a naughty school-boy.Ex: The father, Old Brightwell, curses his daughter, Jane, for preferring the love of the smooth-tongued villain, Grandley, to that of her own parents.Ex: One teacher I knew used to poke his head round the door just at the end of the day and say something like, 'Tomorrow when we meet I am going to tell you about the evil magician,' and then he would disappear leaving us all agog.Ex: One librarian bluntly wondered about the ethics of sending ' crummy looking books with
