We all love you, Mr.Flummers, and your Kittymunks escapade, so thoroughly in keeping with our estimate of you, has added strength to our affection.

If you wish to keep friends, Mr.Flummers, you must do nothing which they could not forecast for you.

The development of hitherto undiscovered traits, of an unsuspected and therefore an inconsistent strength, is a dash of cold water in the face of friendship.

We are tied to you by a strong rope made of the strands of weaknesses, Mr.Flummers." "Oh, no." "Yes, made of the fine-spun strands of weaknesses, Mr.Flummers.It is better to be a joss of pleasing indiscretion than to be a man of great strength, for the joss has no enemies, but sooner or later the strong man must be overthrown by the hoard of weaklings that envy has set against him.
