Whistle/history

Famous quotes containing the words whistle and/or history:

    Mother I longs to get married
    I longs to be a bride
    I longs to lay by that young man
    And close to by his side
    —Unknown. Whistle, Daughter, Whistle (l. 1–4)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
