Quote from WORLD WITHOUT MEN

WORLD WITHOUT MEN  (from a 1911 collection)

Aunt Samantha was visiting at a house in Buffalo . She is an old maid and very devout, always concluding her prayers with a Gloria.

“Why does she say such funny things in her prayers?” said the little daughter of the house.

“Why, what does she say?” replied the fond mamma.

“I don’t remember all she says, but she always ends with ‘World without men, ah, me.’”
