"Laura, that is uncourteous,—not to say undutiful also." "I suppose it was,—both. I beg your pardon, but I could not help it." "Laura, you should help such words to me." "There are moments, Robert, when even a married woman must be herself rather than her husband's wife. It is so, though you cannot understand it." "I certainly do not understand it."

Anthony Trollope, Phineas Finn
