Excerpt from Charles the Chauffeur You should of saw how sweet her mouth looked when she smiled at me. I made up my mind years ago that I would never get mar ried, knowin' how a man's wife often keeps him down if she can't rise to nobler things with him. My uncle Amzi was a warnin' to me in that respects. Uncle Amzi made a great mistake by marryin' a woman who hadn't the soul to rise with him.
