• I've borne the shame of mother while you bought her off with a present and a treat here and there. God knows how hard I tried to civilize her so as not to have to blush with shame when I take her anywhere. I dressed her in the most stylish Paris models, but Delancey Street sticks out from every inch of her. Whenever she opens her mouth, I'm done for. You fellows had your chance to rise in the world because a man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.

  Shadow and sunlight are the same;
  The vanished gods to me appear;
  And one to me are shame and fame.They reckon ill who leave me out;
  When me they fly, I am the wings;

  And I the hymn the Brahmin sings.
