Casey Returned

Famous quotes containing the words casey and/or returned:

    —Unknown. Casey Jones. . .

    Oxford Book of Light Verse, The. W. H. Auden, ed. (1938)

    [My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.
    Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
