Are you being all Grammar/Literature nazi on my ass Mr. SteveDallas?
Coz if you are... Anyhoo---it WAS Melville who wrote that. The Dick story, I mean. Plus the other one with Jimmylegs in it--Billy Budd I thunk it was called.

Quote:
(It's a quote from Bartleby the Scrivener, a Melville story.) I've heard it both ways (with and without the final T pronounced). FWIW there is some evidence (including second-hand reports of how Puccini himself said it) that that last letter is silent. My guess is, knowing opera fans, you're likely to start an argument either way. |
