"You said you only read law books."
"Except when I find a Morning's at Seven," said Homer, coming within an ace of adding, dear lady. "I make an exception in the case of delightful, dainty works that make me feel as if I were sitting beside a rippling brook, listening to its silver music. It had what so few books have nowadays - charm."
Well put, thought Homer, and Vera thought so, too. There had been a few reviews of Morning's at Seven, but only in obscure provincial papers and only things like "will help to pass an idle hour" and "not unreadable." This was the real stuff.
