Excerpt from A Book of Duchesses: Studies in Personality

Amidst such vast stores of intellectual wealth it was difficult to make a choice. Fortunately the young man who was serving lent me his aid. He spoke as one having authority, and I, limp with much shopping, placed myself unreservedly in his hands.

You'll be pleased with that. It's different from most of the Memoirs we get. Paste and scissors they are for the most part - nothing but Paste and Scissors.
