安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
By far the most precious gift ever received by me up to that time came about in this manner. Dear Mrs. Wilkins began knitting an afghan, and during the work many were the inquiries as to whom it was for. No, the dear queenly old lady would not tell; she kept her secret all the long months until, Christmas drawing near, the gift finished and carefully wrapped up, and her card with a few loving words enclosed, she instructed her daughter to address it to me. It was duly received in New York. Such a tribute from such a lady! Well, that afghan, though often shown to dear friends, has not been much used. It is sacred to me and remains among my precious possessions.

白话
卡内基收到的最珍贵礼物，是威尔金斯老太太亲手编织的阿富汗毛毯。她花了好几个月秘密编织，直到圣诞节前才完工，附上写有温暖话语的卡片，让女儿寄到纽约。卡内基收到后非常感动，认为这是来自一位高贵女士的敬意。这条毛毯他虽常给好友看，却很少使用，因为它对他而言是神圣的，成为他珍藏的宝物。
