The motor car was driven by a determined young woman, who had knocked
down a man without injuring him much.
She did not try to get away. Instead, she stopped the car, descended to
the solid earth and faced him manfully.
"I'm sorry it happened," she said grudgingly, "but it was all your
fault. You must have been walking carelessly. I'm an experienced driver.
I've been driving a car for seven years."
"Well," replied her victim angrily, "I'm not a novice myself. I've been
walking for fifty-seven years."

_Mother:_ It is rude to whisper, Humphrey.
_Humphrey_ (_aged five_): Well, I was saying what a funny nose that
man's got. So you see it would have been much ruder if I'd said it
aloud.

_She_ (_pouting_): You don't value my kisses as you used to.
_He:_ Value them? Why, before we were married I used to expect a dozen
in payment for a box of candy, and now I consider only one of them
sufficient payment for a new dress.
