Charles Dickens Quotes
We spent as much money as we could and got as little for it as people could make up their minds to give us.

There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did. To the best of my belief, our case was in the last aspect a rather common one.
