I used to say my own prayers then. Now I speak them but by rote, and feel ashamed yes, ashamed to speak them. Is it not horrid to say them, and next morning to be no better than you were last night? Often I revolt at these as at other things, and am dumb. The Vicar comes to see us at Newcome, and eats so much dinner, and pays us such court, and "Sir Brians" papa, and "Your Ladyship's" mamma.
"Yes, dear, I realise that, and I'd like to do something for him. But Ed Brians, I can't stand. He wants to run everything in the town. He pretty nearly does, but he's not going to run my business. You mind that!" Though Lawyer Ed had completely forgotten the cause of the trouble between them, Alexander Graham had not.
I'm so thankful you're young, my dear. I can't stand old folks, and middle-aged people are my abhorrence. I told Edward Brians that if he put me down there all alone with a middle-aged woman, a young gay thing like me, I just wouldn't stand it." "I don't think there are any old people in Algonquin, are there?" asked Helen.

"Well, it isn't often like this," said the junior partner apologetically.
