Dorothy L. Sayers
You're thinking that people don't keep up old jealousies for twenty years or so. Perhaps not. Not just primitive, brute jealousy. That means a word and a blow. But the thing that rankles is hurt vanity. That sticks. Humiliation. And we've all got a sore spot we don't like to have touched.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
Advertise, or go under.

Dorothy L. Sayers
The keeping of an idle woman is a badge of superior social status.
