“Grief is a violent emotion, a sort of acid that eats away at the best parts of us.”
Laura Purcell, The Corset

Michel Faber
“One of Lucy's admirers took to her, apparently."

"Took to her?" echoes William, his own feelings for Sugar causing him to construe the phrase benignly.

"Yes," said Bodley "With her own riding crop."

"Beat her very severely."

"Particularly about the face and mouth."

"I understand all the fight's gone out of her now."

"Well, as you can imagine," he says. "Madam Georgina doesn't have high hopes. Even if she's willing to wait, there will be scars."

Ashwell, eyes downcast, is picking at the lint on his trousers. "Poor girl," he laments.

"Yes," smirks Bodley. "How are the fighty maulen.”
Michel Faber, The Crimson Petal and the White
