Roosevelt could always keep ahead with his work, but I cannot do it, and I know it is a grievous fault, but it is too late to remedy it. The country must take me as it found me.

I don't think I am a Sunday child, but I ought to have been; then I would have had an excuse for always being late.

The woman that thou gavest me made me do it, Adam says to God.
Sara Paretsky
