The 1)(imposter,foster,boster,composter)borrowed the name of Neville Manchin, a/an 2)(actual,supernatural,tactual,factual)professor of American literature at Portland State and soon-to-be doctoral student at Stanford. In his letter, on perfectly 3)(gauged,mocked,forged,shammed)college stationery, "Professor Manchin" claimed to be a 4) (subbing,scudding,thudding,budding)scholar of F.

The letter was addressed to Dr. Jeffrey Brown, Director of Manuscripts 5) (partition,detachment ,division,supervision), Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, Firestone Library, Princeton University. It arrived with a few others, was 6) (duly,wrightly,fitly,ruly)sorted and passed along, and eventually landed on the desk of Ed Folk, a career junior librarian whose task, among several other 7) (mutinous,monotonous,apathetic,listless)ones, was to verify the 8) (credentials,essentials,initials,authorizathions)of the person who wrote the letter. Ed received several of these letters each week, all in many ways the same, all from 9)(self-exclaimed,self-reclaimed,self-announced,self-proclaimed)Fitzgerald buffs and experts, and even from the 10)(episodic,irregular,occasional,intermittent)true scholar.

Not long ago, a true scholar told Ed that there were now at least a hundred books and over ten thousand published academic articles on Fitzgerald the man, the writer, his works, and his crazy wife. And he drank himself to death at forty-four! What if he'd lived into old age and kept writing? Ed would need an assistant, maybe two, perhaps even a/an 17) (utter,entire,absolute,total)staff. But then Ed knew that an early death was often the key to later 18)(declaim,disclaim,acclaim,inflame)(not to mention greater royalties). After a few days, Ed finally got around to dealing with Professor Manchin.
