But don't any of you say a word, for John's very timid, and I don't believe, in spite of all these years, he's had a single notion yet.

I was sixteen, felt dreadfully unclothed without a tucker in my dress, and saw Alfred for the first time in evening clothes—his first. I can hardly stand thinking about how he looked even now.

Make more money ’n we do. They always do, you know; not the fellers that works, but the smart ones that work them.
