"Jest turn the lamp down a little, Harry.","So, my dear, you see that your mother was right in putting faith in her quotation, 'Most women have no characters at all.'",Never afterwards will she forget the glance of gratitude that meets hers, and that lights up all his face, even his dim eyes, as she grants him this gentle pitiful caress.,“My stomach’s crying so I’ll have to eat one more sandwich, Bouncer.
