The Prompter: A Commentary on Common Sayings Which Are Full of Common Sense, the Best Sense in the World (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prompter: A Commentary on Common Sayings Which Are Full of Common Sense, the Best Sense in the World
But the queerest of all notions is, that parents will not permit a daughter, 110 nor even a son, to love for himself. I know a widow with a family of likely daughters, who insists upon it that her daughters do not know how to love for themselves: she therefore will love for them. She is a queer woman, and a notional creature but every one to his notion.
