—J.M. (John Millington)
“There was books too.... One was “Pilgrim’s Progress,” about a man that left his family it didn’t say why. I read considerable in it now and then. The statements was interesting, but tough.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
