"do you think manuel will mind if i take a few of his carpets as souvenirs?"

"eleanor! thou shalt not steal."

"but whatever harm i do my soul by stealing, i shall make up for by the help and comfort i shall do my feet. feet have soles, too."

"you will hardly enter heaven on feet that have walked on stolen carpets!"

"and you will hardly learn to take a joke."

(from a proud taste of scarlet and miniver, e.l. konigsburg's very entertaining children's novel and biography of eleanor of aquitaine, which i'm reading at meal times.)
