Green, Smart and Sophisticated
Smart and Sophisticated
“People in your time,” Evelyn had interrupted flippantly, “were wise and good. Nobody wants to be wise and good in these days. We want to be smart and sophisticated. Your good old stuffy dining-rooms were like your good old stuffy consciences. Now my breakfast room is symbolic — the green and white for the joy of living, and the black for my sins.”
From page 96, in the book “Mistress Anne”, by Temple Bailey, published by The Penn Publishing Company, 1917
