"Lady Peabury was in the morning room reading a novel; early training gave a guilty spice to this recreation, for she had been brought up to believe that to read a novel before luncheon was one of the gravest sins it was possible for a gentlewoman to commit."
~ Evelyn Waugh (1903 - 1966) Arthur Ewelyn St. John Waugh, novelist, journalist ~ Work Suspended (1942), An Englishman's Home (1939)
