'' `` Oh , I just got to thinking of things when I was here alone .

But anyway he does n't lick you , and you get enough to eat such as it is -- though that old aunt of yours does n't know ANYTHING about cooking . Why , this is the first day I ever remember of feeling ` sif I 'd enough to eat . I 've been knocked about all of my life , ` cept for the two years I was at the asylum .
