afternoon I climbed up a ladder—he as a cheap cabin in the
country, like Monroe, NY the chicken farms in the wood. He was a lonely old man with a white beard.”

But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
