Famous quotes containing the words full and/or service:
“Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden excitedly, containing laughter.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
