' Educated men lay down broad general principles; uneducated men argue from common knowledge and draw obvious conclusions.

I was just thinking of bundling up Cecily and feeding her to the ducks at Hyde Park," said Will, pushing his wet hair back and favoring Jem with a rare smile. "I could use your assistance.

Two of your favorite words, at least when you put them together. " "'Utter simpleton'?" inquired Will. "'Worthless upstart'?" Jem grinned. "'Demon pox,'" he said.
