There’s Many a Slip ’Twist the Kiss and the Lip.

“Henrietta, dear!” “Yes, ma,” from the daughter at the door, parting from her sweetheart, who is just kissing her good-night. “Tell George to look out for the paint.” George does not kiss her again, and Henrietta thinks it is real mean of her mother to give her away, until she remembers that the front gate has just been newly painted. As ravenous birds are the quickest sighted, so are the worst people the greatest fault-finders. Calmess of will is a sign of grandour.
