Commonplace Book

'"...Mellicent, you must make up to Jermyn for being told that poetry is not worth a sacrifice, that his mother ought not to be sacrificed to it, when of course she ought. It is trying in such subtle ways to be told that you must not sacrifice your mother."'

from Men and Wives by I. Compton-Burnett (Chapter II)
