THE ADVICE OF THE ARCH-ANGEL MATTHEW · TO THE
KENSINGTONIANS
A catastrophe for the Kensingtonians
Chapter 25
And that’s why most of you have always really kind of loved your kcountry,
2No matter what,
3lEven though the country was chock-full of Mainliners and Broad Streeters and Boulevardiers and Pennsylvanians and Hillites and Hallites and Fishites and Brewers and Manayunkians and Richmondites and Mount Airians and Germantonians and Swarthmorons and Haverfordians and Drexelites and Downtowners and Southians and millions of others who weren’t Kensingtonians at all,
4mBut they were Americans,
5And they were doing their part,
6Just like you,
7Even if they were a little short on guts,
8And spent too much time talking about things when the time for talking was done,
9nAnd even if you all told nasty jokes about each other and didn’t want to marry each other or eat with each other,
10Especially if somebody told you you had to,
11oBecause it’s never been a good idea for anyone anywhere to tell a Kensingtonian what he can or can’t do,
12Period.
