Such an error, one finds, to do things for the best. They usually seem to be such unpleasant things Picture Quote #1

Women, like streams, can be smooth one minute and make a man feel like he’s swimming through white water the next Picture Quote #1

And then the father, who has nothing to do but pet them and spoil them, comes in when all her work is done and steals their affection from her Picture Quote #1
