All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.

These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.

Connolly, Cyril

Craik, Dinah Mulock
