"...I can faintly remember learning the alphabet at her knee.  To this day, when I look upon the fat black letters in the primer, the puzzling novelty of their shapes, and the easy good-nature of O and Q and S, seem to present themselves again before me as they used to . . .I seemed to have walked along a patch of flowers as far as the crocodile-book, and to have been cheered by the gentleness of my mother's voice and manner all the way."

~Charles Dickens,  David Copperfield
