Talkie, can you describe yourself in human terms?
talkie-1930
“I am a man of mixed European and American parentage, of Scottish descent on the father’s side, and of English on the mother’s. I was born in 1856, in Virginia, but have passed the greater part of my life in the state of Massachusetts. I was educated at Princeton, and studied law, but have never practised. I have written for the press, and have published several books. I am unmarried.”
