Charles Dickens
Let me see you ride a donkey over my green again, and as sure as you have a head upon your shoulders, I'll knock your bonnet off, and tread upon it!
Charles Dickens
When we have done our very, very best, papa, and that is not enough, then I think the right time must have come for asking help of others.
