Hector Hugh Munro
The censorious said she slept in a hammock and understood Yeats's poems, but her family denied both stories.
Hector Hugh Munro
But, good gracious, you've got to educate him first. You can't expect a boy to be vicious till he's been to a good school.
Hector Hugh Munro
The cook was a good cook, as cooks go and as cooks go, she went.
Hector Hugh Munro
There is no easy in the world neither hard everything is the same in a way.
Hector Hugh Munro
A woman who takes her husband about with her everywhere is like a cat that goes on playing with a mouse long after she's killed it.
Hector Hugh Munro
Women and elephants never forget an injury.
