I don’t blame Agnes for wanting a few things in her life that aren’t tawdry….and I hope she rises out of poverty one day.But I also hope she’ll realise that 100% perfection is an unattainable and heart-breaking goal.
There are so many things that are just fine at…oh… maybe 90%… and stopping there gives you time to enjoy them.
Meanwhile, if you have a true friend like Trout; if you can pick and eat a ripe back-yard tomato, smell an old-fashioned rose, lie in the sunshine on a lazy day…..no rich person can buy a better one.
