Hector Hugh Munro
Once a female, always a female. Nature is not always infallible but she always abides by her mistakes.
Hector Hugh Munro
The man is a common murderer. A common murderer, possible, but a very uncommon cook.
Hector Hugh Munro
He spends his life explaining from his pulpit that the glory of Christianity consists in the fact that though it is not true it has been found necessary to invent it.
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
People talk vaguely about the innocence of a little child, but they take mighty good care not to let it out of their sight for twenty minutes.
Hector Hugh Munro
