Commonplace Book

'"You'd not think now by the look of her she had been at Girton!" Mrs. Bedley remarked.

"Once a Girton girl always a Girton girl, Mrs. Bedley."

"It seems a curate drove her to it...."

"I'm scarcely astonished. Looking back, I remember the average curate at home as something between a eunuch and a snigger."

from The Flower Beneath the Foot by Ronald Firbank (Chapter IV)
