“This must be madness!”
Margaret Sutton , The Vanishing Shadow

“I wasn't a real Wasp," he told her. "They just took me in because I wanted to see our neighborhood kept exclusive."
"But that means excluding people, and that's not the American way," Judy told him. "Remember when we were in Washington, Peter, and all the monuments were engraved with noble sentiments like 'Soul Liberty' and 'Equal Justice Under Law'? That's the kind of country we want.

Margaret Sutton, Search for the Glowing Hand
