Page 37 - Lulu and Bob in Verbo City
P. 37

So Lulu was not immune to competitive pressure after all! Thus
        inspired, Bunster adopted another ploy: he would stare intently at her
        until  she  first  met  his  gaze,  then  was  hypnotized  by  it,  and  finally
        could not resist his will sufficiently to draw her next card. That would
        do it!
           “Murray murmured, ‘more marmalade.’ Murray murmured, ‘more
        marmalade.’  Murray  murmured,  ‘more  marmalade.’”  And  then  he
        turned his laser-like stare upon his niece.




















           Noting at last his adversary’s unceasing attempts to win by guile
        and sabotage, Bob felt a rising tide of resentment in his craw. Wait a
        minute! he told himself; don’t tighten up just when you need to be
        loose! After my turn I’ll try subliminal sonority on good old Uncle
        Bunster and give him a taste of his own medicine!
           “Garbo got her garb all garbled.  Garbo got her garb all garbled.
        Garbo got her garb all garbled.”
