The Aunt's Story Quotes

“Life is full of alternatives but no choice.”
― Patrick White, The Aunt's Story

“Where have you been, Theodora?," Mrs Goodman asked.
"Walking, Mother."
"And whom did you see?"
Mrs Goodman flung her grammar like a stone.
"I did not see a cat," said Theodora.
Mrs Goodman looked at her daughter, who giggled before she left the room.”
