“I have noticed that rooms which are extra clean feel extra cold”
“My sheets had never been so clean as they had in the past few months. I hardly got them on again before something else happened and I was feverishly ripping them off and stuffing them in the wash with double amounts of soap and all the "extra" buttons pushed: extra wash, extra rinse, extra water, extra spin, extra protection against things that go bump in the night.”
“Extra' was a very American word. Americans seemed to have extras of everything.”
“It was an extra life; I was grateful to have had it.”
“It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
“Sometimes the bigger the apartment, the harder it is to find room to put up an extra person for the night.”
