Famous quotes with Oh dear

  • oh dear, oh dear, how men are when they get an idea into their heads! I tell you he's a dragon, and a friend of mine, and tells me the most beautiful stories you ever heard, all about old times and when he was little. And he's been so kind to mother, and mother'd do anything for him. And father likes him too, though father doesn't hold with art and poetry much, and always falls asleep when the dragon starts talking about . But the fact is, nobody can help liking him when once they know him. He's so engaging and so trustful, and as simple as a child!
    Kenneth Grahame
