Excerpt from book: WHAT POLLY ONCE CONFESSED " Since you insist, you fool, why then, I'll tell you . . . Love Punch? Good Lord! I hope I'm not so silly! Red-nosed, with hands like hams, humpbacked and bandy,? And small green rheumy eyes! I'd sooner love The wildman that they showed us in the circus! Him with the ring in his nose, and the leaves in his hair, And the long arms like a gorilla's always dragging! Love him! . . . Don't make me laugh. I'll crack the mirror.

Hate me if you want to. The whole thing comes to one word ? jealousy! . . .
