I borrow money from my friends in a pinch, ride in their machines, listen to their radios, make friends with their dogs, admire their flowers, and praise their wives’ cooking. If I could wish for anything else it would be a little more moderation, a little more tolerance, and a little more of the trustful innocence of that boy who learned his prayers at the knee of the gentle, kindly old priest in the Sisters’ Convent School. TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: Italicized text is surrounded by asterisks. The following typographical errors in the Macmillan edition from 1926 have been corrected: - An extra comma appeared after "Well, whatever" in Chapter 3 on page 21. - A period was missing after the word "toes" at the end of a sentence in Chapter 9 on page 108. - "Zion's co-operative Mercantile Institution" in Chapter 13 on page 170 is a proper noun and the name of a business, so the "c" has been capitalized as well. - A period was missing at the end of the sentence that begins with "The lashing is regulated by law" in Chapter 19 on page 277. - "Ottawa" was misspelled as "Ottowa" in Chapter 20 on page 312. Ottawa is later spelled correctly in Chapter 22. The variant with two O's only appeared in this single instance.
