    “Most adults will do anything to avoid going to a party where they don’t know anyone. But for some reason we may be impatient with the young child who hesitates on the first day of school, or who recoils from the commotion of a birthday party where there are no familiar faces.”
    —Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    “Lord Bateman was a noble lord,
    A noble lord of high degree,”
    —Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 1–2)
