One day it was about getting married that mother talked with me, and I said I was so glad that when you didn't like being married, or got tired of your husband, you could get Unmarried.

My relationship with "Pollyanna" is a very personal one, because Pollyanna got me through my childhood.

Of course things you don't know about are always nicer'n things you do, same as the pertater on 'tother side of the plate is always the biggest.

It'll be just lovely for you to play -- it'll be so hard. And there's so much more fun when it is hard!

It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't it?

The sun was slowly setting in the west, casting golden beams of light into the somber old room.
