We must not accept the invitation of fools to a Christmas party fools who will make the welkin ring with their outcries when they find out their self-deception. Let us tread our path of suffering with a pride which disdains to be consoled by illusions.
He went up to dat buzzard one day wid a little tea-bell in his hand an' says, 'Buzzard, how do ye like music?
