We slaved to send Oliver and Malcolm through college but for you and for me what slaving was there done to prepare us to earn a living? Just think what I might be had I been prepared for life like Malcolm or Oliver, instead of wasting all my years frivoling. Why, don't you see I could have convictions with a foundation then?

"Just the same I'd back Callahan against Saunders on a speed-track," Dick championed. "Where are you bound?" she asked. "Oh, to show Colonel Stoddard my one-man and no-horse farm you know, the automatically cultivated ten-acre stunt I've been frivoling with.
