Lazy Thoughts of a Lazy Girl: Sister of that "Idle Fellow."
Wren, Jenny
English essays
With such consummate cheek, a man ought to get on in the world, I
think, for after all it is self-confidence and "bluffing" that seems
to succeed most. However down in the world you are, however bad your
"hand," you only have to "bluff" a little to make it all right. There
are many foolish people in the world ready to be your dupes, and
luckily they never think of asking to "see" you. Even the best of us
try it on a little; we strive to hide our skeletons under the cloak of
cheerfulness, and entirely disguise our real feelings--
"Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we;
For, such as we are made of, such we be."
THE END.
