• I know something of shame...How can we not all feel it? We are all small-minded people, creeping about the earth grubbing for our own adventure and making the very mistakes for which we want to humiliate our neighbors......I think we wake up every day with high intentions and by dusk we have routinely fallen short. Sometimes I think God created the darkness just so he didn't have to look at us all the time.

El comandante se había preguntado a menudo cómo una interpretación ululante de "Greensleeves" podría fomentar una mayor producción de frambuesas, pero Alice insistió en que funcionaba mucho mejor que los fertilizantes químicos, y produjo varios tipos de fruta en cantidades dignas de tarta.
