Maria von Trapp Quote
It doesn't start as a story; it starts as an inflection of the voice, a question asked in a certain tone and not answered with no ; a prolonged little silence, a twinkle in the eye, a long-drawn w-e-e-ell—I don't know. These are the fine roots of the tree whose poisonous fruits are gossip and slander.
The Story of the Trapp Family Singers (1949)
