I suspect you've never found yourself in such dire straits that would necessitate you selling your hair and front teeth! [yay! movie/play/novel ref ] And should fortune ever frown upon you to such a degree that you "depended upon the kindness of strangers" [another play/movie ref! ], I hope they show you more kindness than I did to that girl.
