I Quit!
Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

sadly, Edinburgh is all too full of that type. If I remember right, daddy was a barrister, so while she clearly hadn't inherited his brains, his connections may have been appealing to a certain type of prospective husband. It's not what you know, it's who you know.
It's a game as old as this town. Pretty daughter bartered off - and she was very pretty (if pretty vacant).
EDIT: I have not one, but two, very pretty daughters. Give it a few more years, and I will be open to reasonable offers ...
(But you'll have to get past scary dad)
