Humor Quote by Julia Quinn
““The pig reached the assembly of servants, and the maids shrieked, running in every possible direction. Stunned by the sudden movement, the pig stopped, raised its snout; and let out a hellish squeal—and then another, and another, and... "Will you shut up!" Dunford commanded. The pig, sensing authority, didn't just shut up—it actually laid down.””
