Of course they had more chains on him than Scrooge saw on Marley's ghost, but he could have kicked up dickens if he'd wanted. That's a pun, son.

You need hedges.Hedges, I said, bemused. Yes, Edgar. He looked surprised and a little disappointed, as if I had failed to understand a very simple concept. Hedges against the night.

What I'm saying is that I'm trying to find rational reasons to explain irrational feelings, and that's neveer a good sign.

We'll just have to get along. That's what people do, you know? They just get along. And try to help each other.
