Excerpt from Recollections of a Sleeping Car Porter
The following will show that while the porter is dusting and wiping here and there, placing a pillow under the head of this one, and doing some similar favor for that one, a word spoken carelessly, and soon forgotten by the passenger, affords abundant food for thought for the porter. A little grain of wheat thrown carelessly upon the ground may often spring up and produce an hundred fold.
