"[If I] should sometimes put on a fool's cap with a bell to it, for a moment or two as we pass along,--don't fly off,--but rather courteously give me credit for a little more wisdom than appears upon my outside;--and as we jogg on, either laugh with me, or at me, or in short, do any thing,-----only keep your temper," (L. Sterne)
"Life is a gift horse in my opinion"
and because they were [her] fingers, those were the fingers I wanted to watch.
