—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.”
—A.A. (Alan Alexander)
“The farmers crowd to the fair today in obedience to the same ancient law,... as naturally as bees swarm and follow their queen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
