Every good man looks after his friends, and any man who doesn’t isn’t likely to be popular. <small>p. 5</small> - George W. Plunkitt

The name-parted-in-the-middle aristocrats act in just the same way. They don’t want to be annoyed with firecrackers and the Declaration of Independence, and when they see the Fourth comin’ they hustle off to the woods like my dog. <small>p. 71</small>
