"A Word or Two" (20 February 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGEsRXlMT0s
Context: Many people have said since the beginning — actually, all my life — "don't you suppose you were born in the wrong era — the wrong time?" Well, I don't think so at all! Because, don't you see, I can come into your home, in your office, and wherever you are, and sing to you these silly songs. And I'm just a simple lady, and I can show you how much I love you very much, and share these feelings with you. And I don't know that could have been done really this way at any other time. So I think that I was born at just the right time — wouldn't you say?
“My dear Elinor, you were obviously born into the wrong story,” said Dustfinger at last.”
