And now for something new ...
Words in Action
A small addition to the usual proceedings of Enlarge Your Vocabulary.
For some time now we have been collecting curious words, old words, neglected words… words refusing to settle quietly into comfortable retirement. But words, it seems, were never designed to spend their lives standing stiffly inside dictionaries.
So each episode of Words in Action introduces four interesting words, offers a brief acquaintance… and then places them into a short mystery in the style of old-time radio.
Their task? To reveal themselves in motive… atmosphere… conversation… or character.
Listen carefully. The meanings are known.
The mystery— that part is yours to solve!
Be sure to check back from time to time— for our next cast of four have already been selected, contracted, assembled, and duly commissioned to perform inside the next enthralling episode of Words in Action!

In a low, determined voice, he said, ‘Send in the Gregorios Twins — Gregory and Gregoria.’

Reading
Henry Archibald Hertzberg Lawson (17th June 1867 – 2nd September 1922) was an Australian writer and bush poet. Henry Lawson is often referred to as Australia’s greatest short story writer. He was also a master of the bush ballad.
Note: A bush ballad is a traditional Australian narrative poem, written in plain language and rhythmic verse, reflecting hardship, humour, and character in rural bush life.
Bound for the Lord-Knows-Where was first published in 1906.
The bush ballad (poem) is about the restless spirit wandering into the unknown, chasing work, freedom, or a fresh start — wherever that road may lead. Destination: 'the Lord-knows-where.'
Note: The reading was recorded with a faint vinyl effect in the background.
Below is the opening verse of the ballad. If you’d like to follow along, or read the full poem, you’ll find it here: PoetryVerse website.
'Bound for the Lord-Knows-Where'
'Where are you going with your horse and bike,
And the townsfolk still at rest?
Where are you going, with your swag and pack,
And the night still in the West?
Your clothes are worn, and your cheques are gone,
But your eyes are free from care?”
“We’re bushmen down for a spree in town,
And we’re bound for the Lord-knows-where,
Old chap—we’re bound for the Lord-knows-where.”

Reading
Rudyard Kipling (30th December 1865 –18th January 1936) was one of the most influential English writers of his time. In 1907 he received the Nobel Prize in Literature — the first English-language writer to earn it, and still the youngest person ever to do so.
Kipling’s If—, written in 1895 and published in 1910, is a poem of advice to someone coming of age, offering guidance on character, courage, and the making of an adult. He framed it as a father’s advice to a son entering young adulthood.Note: The reading was recorded with a faint vinyl record effect in the background.

Reading
Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, CBE, was an Australian bush poet, journalist, and author, widely regarded as one of the country’s greatest bush poets. “The Maori’s Wool” was published in the Star (Christchurch) newspaper on February 23, 1901.
"The Maori's Wool" tells of Māori chief Rerenga’s journey to Wellington to sell his tribe’s wool. He faces a deceptive offer from a bank manager—just 18 pence a pound. Rerenga, no man’s fool, spots an opportunity and seizes it without delay. Through satire and humor, the poem explores cultural misunderstandings and the exploitation of the Māori by the bank.

Reading
The black dog finds a troubled sleeper.
‘To be or not to be’ is probably the most famous soliloquy. Here is a man, unable to sleep, sitting on the side of his bed in the dark of night, wrestling with even darker thoughts, and firmly in the grip of “that black dog”.
The reference to the “black dog” is in honour of Mark Twain, who referred to depression as “that black dog”.

This short recording is a sample of an audiobook that will be uploaded on May 20th on my second podcast channel, floydsaudiobooks.podbean.com.
Mark Twain's 'Dog's Tale' chronicles the life of a small dog. Though it's a somewhat sad story, Twain gets his point across: that animals often deserve better treatment, particularly those two wonderful gifts to mankind, our four-footed friends, cats and dogs.
I hope you enjoy what you hear. The full version will be uploaded on May 20th.
Warm regards,
Floydius-Maximus.
