Joy Quote by Anthony Trollope

“On board ship there are manysources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You mayflirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.” quote by Anthony Trollope — Download Open image
