The Monday Morning Memo

I found out about Joan. The way she talks, you’d think she was in Who’s Who. Well! I found out what’s what with her. Her husband owns a bank? Sweetie, nor even a bank account. Why that palace of theirs has wall-to-wall mortgages! And that car? Darling that’s horsepower, not earning power. They won it in a fifty-cent raffle! Can you imagine? And those clothes! Of course she does dress divinely. But really… a mink stole, and Paris suits, and all those dresses… on his income? Well darling, I found out about that too. I just happened to be going her way and I saw Joan coming out of Ohrbach’s!

Random Quote:

“My work was to cover the pots of paste-blacking: first with a piece of oil paper, and then with a piece of blue paper, to tie them round with a string; and then to clip the paper close and neat all round, until it looked as smart as a pot of ointment from an apothecary's shop. When a certain number of grosses of pots had attained this pitch of perfection, I was to paste on each a printed label; and then go on again with more pots. Two or three other boys were kept at similar duty downstairs on similar wages. One of them came up, in a ragged apron and a paper cap, on the first Monday morning, to show me the trick of using the string and tying the knot. His name was Bob Fagin; and I took the liberty of using his name long afterwards, in Oliver Twist.”

- Charles Dickens, who in 1824 at age 12 went to work to help pay his father's debts. From an autobiographical fragment included in John Forster's 1872 biography of Dickens:
