Examples

“—Senator Sumner has been pleasantly interviewed by “Olivia,” of the Philadelphia Press⟳, about celebrities whom he met abroad in years gone by. The intervieweress asked him, “Will a woman of good judgment marry⟳ a man fifteen years younger than herself?” To which Mr. Sumner replied: “I shall have⟳ to refer⟳ you to Mr. Disraell. I know⟳ that to have⟳ been a very happy marriage.[…]””

“When she got through with us, which she did in about half a second, as if we were so many seats in a house, not to be discriminated, he stayed chatting with Make⟳ and me, till some friends of his came up; Make⟳ told me afterwards they were the Van der Doeses, which means something supernal here. Miss⟳ Hally, the chief intervieweress of The Signal bowed to us from a distance, and he asked very eagerly who she was.”

“Miss⟳ Dunbar now loomed on the horizon, and the intervieweress decided to waylay her for further information. “What kind of stuff do I like⟳ best in your paper? Well I thought it was about time you asked me for advice. Put⟳ in more jokes. Describe⟳ some of the teachers when they take⟳ their gym lesson. That’l get⟳ some laughs. I look⟳ a sight in mine.” Miss⟳ Dunbar absent-mindedly walks off without a word of farewell. She had forgotten that she was being interviewed.”

“Father Bonn’s parting remark⟳ was “Thanks for being such good intervieweresses—or is it interviewerines?

But when I did get⟳ up, I was beside myself. It was horrible—for now I had lost Libbie, the house, and myself. I usually talk⟳ to myself, but now I heard myself talking to myself (and there’s one hell of a difference). I think⟳ I have⟳ figured it all out. And now, after about five hours of effort, I think⟳ I am at least on the slope of the subpersonality that I think⟳ of as really me. But I had to use⟳ some alky as a bridge towards the way back. To cut⟳ a lot of corners, I think⟳ the tangle turned up thus: My intervieweress was so clearly a student-type, I talked to her as with a student at Bennington, or someone else along the academic circuit.
