Robert Benchley: Doakes (Framing Story)

Quotes 

• Doakes : [Last lines to Davis as he is leaving the club study]  Let me give you some advice, Chum. Forget all these old bugaboos, dreams and fortune tellers and drinking out of your left hand. It's the bunk. It's superstition. That's what it is, and superstition is for gypsies.

  Doakes : [He laughs]  Superstition...

  [He mutters indistictly as he works his way around the ladder that is blocking the doorway]
