"None of the neighbouring ladies would stand as godmother, for they were secretly dubious as to the children's origin; so he had asked good Mrs. Spaniel to act in that capacity. She, a simple kindly creature, was much flattered, though certainly she can have understood very little of the symbolical rite. Gissing, filling out the form that Mr. Poodle had given him, had put down the names of an entirely imaginary brother and sister-in-law of his, "deceased," whom he asserted as the parents."

Additional quotes by Christopher Morley
Die Menschen wissen nicht, dass sie Bücher haben wollen. Ich brauche Sie nur anzusehen, um zu erkennen, dass Ihre Seele krank ist, weil sie der Lektüre entbehrt, aber zum Glück sind Sie sich dessen nicht bewusst. Die Menschen gehen erst dann zu einem Buchhändler, wenn sie nach einem schweren Unfall ihrer Seele oder durch Krankheit die Gefahr erkennen. Dann kommen sie hierher. Würde ich Werbung machen, wäre das etwa so sinnvoll, als würde man kerngesunde Menschen zum Arzt schicken.
