After Leaving Mr. MacKenzie, Jean Rhys, 1931, England, NOVEL

"...The last time Julia meets Mr. MacKenzie, she is angrily proud: "'Oh, yes, look here, this check...This check I got today. I don't want it.' 'Good,' said Mr. MacKenzie. 'Just as you like, of course.' She picked up her glove and hit his cheek with it. 'I despise you,' she said. 'Quite,' said Mr. MacKenzie."..."
