" Yes, mother : don't end it, ' They lived ever after in peace, and died happily.' I hate that, too." " Well, upon my word. I did not know I had such a critic for a listener. I am afraid you will have to...
Strana 8 - Have you thought of it, mother ?" " Yes." " Well, that's nice ; let me get another card to wind that skein on, when I have done this. I hope it is a long story, I hope it is funny, I hope there ain't any 'moral' in it. Katy Smith's mother always puts a moral in. I don't like morals, do you, mother?"
