(Too dag-gon bossy and dictatorial, that Charley Lomax is. Getting 'most too big for his breeches. Never mind. there's going to be a fire election week from Tuesday. See whether he'll be chief next year or not. Sending a man away from the fire right at the most interesting part!)英文原著 · 《Back Home》
At least, in the light of her exalted family connections, I can't pack her off in disgrace like a drunken cook.
