Thomas Bailey Aldrich Quotes

Whenever A New Scholar Came To Out School, I Used To Confront Him At Recess With The Following Words: 'My Name's Tom Bailey: What's Your Name?' If The Name Struck Me Favorably, I Shook Hands With The New Pupil Cordially; But If It Didn't I Would Turn On My Heel, For I Was Particular In This Point. Such Names As Higgins, Wiggins, And Spriggins Were Deadly Afronts To My Ear; While Lapgdon, Wallace, Blake, And The Like, Were Passing Words To My Confidence And Esteem.
