    I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.

    The less sophisticated of my forbears avoided foreigners at all costs, for the very good reason that, in their circles, speaking in tongues was commonly a prelude to snake handling.
