You Are My Cat, And I Am

From Quiet Homes And First Beginning, Out To The Undiscovered Ends, There's Nothing Worth The Wear Of Winning, But Laughter And The Love Of Friends.

I Forget The Name Of The Place; I Forget The Name Of The Girl; But The Wine Was Chambertin.

If You Can Describe Clearly Without A Diagram The Proper Way Of Making This Or That Knot, Then You Are A Master Of The English Language.

Take The Particular Trick Of False Names. It Seems To Us Particularly Odious. We Think When We Show Our Contempt For Those Who Use This Subterfuge That We Are Giving Them No More Than They Deserve. It Is A Meanness Which We Associate With Criminals And Vagabonds; A Piece Of Crawling And Sneaking...men Whose Race Is Universally Known, Will Unblushingly Adopt A False Name As A Mask, And After A Year Or Two Pretend To Treat It As An Insult If Their Original And True Name Be Used In Its Place.

How On Earth Could That Be Done? If You Try To Laugh And Say 'no' At The Same Time, It Sounds Like Neighing - Yet People Are Perpetually Doing It In Novels. If They Did It In Real Life They Would Be Locked Up.
