He saw the girl watching him and he smiled at her. It was an old smile that he had been using for fifty years, ever since he first smiled...
That seemed to handle it. That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was it all right. I went in to lunch.

Never delay kissing a pretty girl or opening a bottle of whiskey

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.
