One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards. - Oscar Wilde

You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar, and though I asked most distinctly for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition, and the extraordinary sweetness of my nature, but I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far.

I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.

Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
