Commonplace Book

'".....I must go home to see about the party's being a simple one, to be in keeping with the parlour, and with your bereavement; though I don't mean that was a second thought. But I do want to be loyal to the parlour to the last."

"You had better leave us out," said Robin, "to be loyal to the size of the parlour, and to the desire of your guests to talk about us."'

from Brothers and Sisters by I. Compton-Burnett (Chapter X)
