Famous quotes related to final appearance:
“And then ... he flung open the door of my compartment, and ushered in ‘Ma young and lovely lady!’ I muttered to myself with some bitterness. ‘And this is, of course, the opening scene of Vol. I. She is the Heroine. And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!’”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
