Ivy Compton-Burnett
“I suppose George is too old to take things to eat, and no one is too old to take a life. People can only be too young for it. When they are young enough, they do not pay the penalty, as though they cannot really have done it.”
Ivy Compton-Burnett, Manservant and Maidservant

“It was something you found in new countries: people came to them to change who they were, not by self-improvement, but by creating a better or more interesting past.”
Wendy M Wilson, Death in the Bush: An Amateur Sleuth Historical Mystery Set in the Wild New Zealand Bush

Ivy Compton-Burnett
“What they need is to become children again. They have been forced too far forward by this suspicion of something beyond them.”
Ivy Compton-Burnett, Manservant and Maidservant

“Anne and Monica seemed to have grown into their simpler dresses; Hilda’s stuck out from her in every sense. They had damped down their personalities to a discreet glow, whereas Hilda wore hers like a headlight.”
LP Hartley

“We ate our soup to slow waltz time, with the result that every spoonful was cold before we got it up to our mouth. Just as the fish came, the band started a quick polka, and the consequence of that was that we had not time to pick out the bones. We gulped down white wine to the "Blacksmith's Galop," and if the tune had lasted much longer we should both have been blind drunk. With the advent of our steaks, the band struck up a selection from Wagner.”
Jerome Klapka Jerome, Diary Of A Pilgrimage
