Quote by Lemony Snicket

“– To była niezła sztuczka – powiedziała. – Gdzie się pan nauczył tak dobrze spadać na drzewa? – Odebrałem nietypowe wykształcenie – odrzekłem. – A schodzić z drzewa pana nauczyli? – Najlepszy sposób to poczekać na kogoś z drabiną. – Na kogoś? – powtórzyła. – To znaczy konkretnie na kogo? – Nie wiem. Nie znam jej imienia.”

You might people a colony with her; or give an assembly with her; or perhaps take your morning's walk round her, always provided there were frequent resting places, and you were in rude health. I once was rash enough to try walking round her before breakfast, but only got half way and gave it up exhausted. Or you might read the Riot Act and disperse her; in short, you might do anything but marry her!”
