It undoes everything you do with it. It is really just a box and a switch. You turn on the machine, and the machine turns itself off. No matter how much you want to turn it on, it will always turn off itself. That’s all it does, but it looks like so much fun.
People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays; men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)
