"But suppose the Staff thinks that he should be?" Doctor Willie's kindly mouth set itself into grim lines. "The Staff!" he said, and looked at her searchingly. Then his jaws set at an obstinate angle. "Well, Nellie," he said, "I guess one opinion's as good as another in these cases. And I don't suppose they'll do any cutting and hacking without my consent."
When your opinion's not wanted and you're not spoke to, don't you give an opinion and don't you speak. The world's undergone a nice alteration since my time, certainly. My belief is that there an't any boys left that there isn't such a thing as a boy that there's nothing now between a male baby and a man and that all the boys went out with his blessed Majesty King George the Second.
If the people of Virginia did not clearly comprehend this doctrine in all its length and breadth a hundred years ago, it is not quite easy to say who were then, or who are now, at liberty to throw stones at them.

"And I should consider, also, sir," said the licensed victualler, with increased importance, "having been a guardian myself, and knowing the hact, as the parish couldn't refuse, because they're in power to recover all hexpenses out of his mother." "To be sure; it's all the unnatural old witch's fault." "No, it is not," said I, faintly. "Wait till your opinion's asked, young'un.
