  • A man builds a house in England with the expectation of living in it and leaving it to his children; while we shed our houses in America as easily as a snail does his shell. We live a while in Boston, and then a while in New York, and then, perhaps, turn up at Cincinnati. Scarcely any body with us is living where they expect to live and die.

    MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE (1854). “`SUNNY MEMORIES OF FOREIGN LANDS”, p.31

    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1852). “Life Among the Lowly”, p.12

    Harriet Beecher Stowe, Philip Van Doren Stern (1964). “The Annotated Uncle Tom's Cabin”, New York : Paul S. Eriksson
  • 'Who was your mother?' 'Never had none!' said the child, with another grin. 'Never had any mother? What do you mean? Where were you born?' 'Never was born!' 'Do you know who made you?' 'Nobody, as I knows on,' said the child, with a short laugh. . . . 'I 'spect I grow'd.'
