It is also our spiritual refusal to admit that we have made a mistake. It was mere vanity in Mr. Brummell when he sent away trays full of imperfectly knotted neck-cloths, lightly remarking, "These are our failures."

"No, the strawberry shortcake isn't ready until lunch," he said. "But you can have hot waffles and maple syrup."
