“Alberta is more like⟳ a man's name⟳ than any other name⟳ that comes from a men's, more than Georgianna which is just like⟳ a magnolia blossom or Henrietta which most people change⟳ to Etta or Geraldine which nobody ever thinks of coming from a man's Irish name⟳ like⟳ Gerald. Alberta also sounds sort⟳ of Canadian, and everything from Canada is masculine the way everything from Mexico is feminine, even the men. In saying it carelessly or reading it you hardly notice⟳ the a in the end⟳.”
