\u201cIf everyone who died with unpunished sins on his conscience came back as a ghost, the living would be crowded out of every home in England.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re cynical. I thought you would be. Can you sneer?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWith terrifying effect.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOh, do it, please! I want to see it!\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m afraid you\u2019re much too young to withstand it. I should be accused of stunting your growth\u2014 perhaps even sending you into a decline.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t go into a decline. I\u2019m robust. My governess says so.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry about that,\u201d muttered Hugh. \u201cI don\u2019t suppose you came to Bellegarde to be teased to death by my little sisters.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I don\u2019t mind. I rather like making friends with women before they\u2019re old enough to be dangerous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI try to be interested in very nearly everything. I always think boredom is to some extent the fault of the bored.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Remember what Milton said about truth? He said it\u2019s like a bastard child: nobody wants it, and nobody has anything good to say about whoever gave it birth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
