The Confidence-Man - pg. 134

"... Then, you rather like St. Augustine, sir?"
"Excellent genius!"
"In some points he was; yet, how comes it that under his own hand, St. Augustine confesses that, until his thirtieth year, he was a very sad dog?"
"A saint a sad dog?"
"Not the saint, but the saint's irresponsible little forerunner -- the boy."
"All boys are rascals, and so are all men," again flying off at his tangent; "my name is Pitch, I stick to what I say."
