Life Among The Savages
Back Cover Text:
Mrs. Howell and I met at the meat counter in the grocery the next morning; she smiled and I smiled and then she said, "How is Laurie today?"
"He seems much better, thanks," I said solemnly. "And David?"
"Fairly well," she said, without turning a hair.
"Horrible little beasts," I said.
"Liars all of them," she said "I never believe word they say."
We both laughed and turned to regard the meat. "They certainly do eat, though," she said mournfully. "I supposed it's hamburger again today."
