Bess Streeter Aldrich Quotes
That was the trouble of being old. Your body no longer obeyed you. It did unruly and unreasonable things. An eye suddenly might not see for a moment.

You might be speaking of something and forget it temporarily,—your mind going off at a little to the northwest, too, so to speak.Bess Streeter Aldrich
