Great Expectations
by Charles Dickens
I followed the candle down, as I had followed the candle up, and she stood it in the place where we had found it. Until she opened the side
entrance, I had fancied, without thinking about it that it must necessarily be night-time. The rush of the daylight quite confounded me, and
made me feel as if i had been in the candlelight of the strange room many hours,
"You are to wait here, you boy." said Estella; and disappeared and closed the door.
I took the opportunity of being alone in the courtyard to look at my coarse hands and my common boots. My opinion of those accessories was
not favorable. They had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now, as vulgar appendages. I determined to ask Joe why he had ever
taught me to call those playing cards Jacks, which ought to be called knaves. I wished Joe had been rather more genteelly (respectably) brought
up, and then I should have been so too.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
