I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling, and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. ‘All right,’ I said, ‘I’m gladit’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool--that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” TOM: “Civilization’s going to pieces...I’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things.
