morning
`` What about you -- ai n't your life to be thought of ? Ai n't it enough she was married off with enough money for her husband to buy a half-interest in a ladies ' ready-to-wear store out there ? '' `` Why , if I was to bring my little wife to that flat of ours , Clara , or any other kind further down-town that she 'd want to pick out for herself , I think my mother would just walk on her hands and knees to make things pleasant for her . Maybe you do n't know it , but on your Wednesday nights up at the house , she is up at five o'clock in the morning fixing around and cooking the things she thinks you 'll like . '' `` I 'm not saying a word against your mother , Sam . I think she 's a grand woman , and I admire a fellow that 's good to his mother . I always say , ` Give me a fellow every time that is good to his mother and that fellow will be good to his wife . ' ''
