W. Somerset Maugham Quote
For instance, he had a habit that poor Amy had a lot of trouble to break him of : after he’d finished his meat and vegetables he’d take a piece of bread and wipe the plate clean with it and eat it. Do you know what that means? I said. It means that for long he had so little to eat that he couldn’t afford to waste any food he could get.
