Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart
That is the tragedy of growing old, Chris. You don't leave the world. It leaves you.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
there comes a time when ambition ceases to burn, or romance to stir, and the highest cry of the human heart is for peace.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
I suppose that we are only young, Chris, so long as we can forget. After that we merely remember!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
From class consciousness to class hatred was but a step.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
pretense is the oil that lubricates society.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Men play harder than they work women work harder than they play.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Used to move so much, every time the chickens saw the team put in the wagon, they'd lie down on their backs and hold their legs up to be tied!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Besides, you want the unvarnished and ungarnished truth, and I'm no hand for that. I'm a lawyer.
Mary Roberts Rinehart
