...Good grief! Color me Roman Catholic and add an exultant, buoyant Deo Gratias. Could life be as dull and dutiful as the Wasp world you fashion...
...World. We would like to mention two other discriminatory practices perpetrated on left-handed students. One is the curse of the spiral notebook, which is bound on the left side. Designed for the comfort and ease of the right-handed person, it is a cause of genuine pain and grief to thousands of students everywhere.

Luke, and even more so John, were by contrast profoundly affected...
