They make mistakes, I admit, but they don't know that they do; and so their ignorance is of the brand which the poet describes as bliss." "People who have never been in love should never talk about it," Elisabeth sagely remarked.
"I can't cure mother of introducing me as if I were the Lord Mayor," he murmured plaintively to Sara as they sat down to tea. "I suppose it's the penalty of being an only son." "Nothing of the sort," asserted Elisabeth composedly. "Naturally I'm pleased with you you're so absurdly like me.
