Excerpt from My Sentimental Self
Those who are required to share Mrs. Aria's friend ship with any unworthy new arrival that chances to read her reminiscences have declined, almost Without exception, to abet her disastrous habit of making new friends. She should be strictly rationed, they feel, if the first comers are to have their just allowance of her gay philosophy and effervescent wit.
The one exception can only defend himself by pleading that she will break down any monopoly that may be established in her friendship. Alternatively, he may argue that, when an introduction is stamped as superfluous, it must also be innocuous of herself Mrs. Aria says, I am rapidly becoming amongst treats or penances to the younger generation, which does not even knock at my door but walks straight in. I am a place of entertainment, a point of pilgrim age like St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, or the Zoo logical Gardens. I am the oldest inhabitant of the stalls, the lady Methuselah on the mat at the Box Offices, and as well known as the Tower of London.
