Humour Quote by Margaret Widdemer
““And remember, Wallis, there's something the matter with Mr. Allan's shutters. They won't always close the sunshine out as they should." Wallis almost winked, if an elderly, mutton-chopped servitor can be imagined as winking. "No, ma'am," he promised. Something wrong with 'em. I'll remember, ma'am.””
