Jean Webster Quotes

Our Lives Were Absolutely Monotonous And Uneventful. Nothing Nice Ever Happened, Except Ice-cream On Sundays, And Even That Was Regular. In All The Eighteen Years I Was There I Only Had One Adventure - When The Woodshed Burned. We Had To Get Up In The Night And Dress So As To Be Ready In Case The House Should Catch. But It Didn't Catch And We Went Back To Bed.
Everybody Likes A Few Surprises; It's A Perfectly Natural Human Craving. But I Never Had One Until Mrs. Lippett Called Me To The Office To Tell Me That Mr. John Smith Was Going To Send Me To College. And Then She Broke The News So Gradually That It Just Barely Shocked Me.
