“He had a nice little house of his own, a wife whom he loved dearly... still, it would have been nice, he often thought, if he could have seen something of the world before he met Mrs. Popper and settled down. He had never hunted tigers in India, or climbed the peaks of the Himalayas, or dived for pearls in the South Seas. Above all, he had never seen the Poles.”

″‘Don’t you ever get tired of reading about the South Pole?’ ‘No, I don’t. Of course I would much rather go there than read about it. But reading is the next best thing.‘”
