'"Hortensia under existing circumstances is like a permeating dust-storm, which you can't possibly get away from or pretend that it's not there. Living with a comparatively modest establishment at the dower-house, she would be merely like Town in August or the bite of a camel - a painful experience which may be avoided with a little ordinary prudence."'
from a play entitled The Watched Pot (Act I), in The Square Egg and other sketches by Saki
