A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “Very well, Uncle,” said Lin. “I bow to your wisdom.”
   “Good thing, too. What is the use of wisdom if it is not bowed to?”

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

Mr. Butler approved of gluttony. It was, he thought, a nice, comfortable vice. Never caused any noise or trouble and the sufferer just expired of an apoplexy, regretted by all those who had attended his excellent dinner parties.

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “The best advice I would give you is, ‘If under attack, cause a diversion.'”
   “A diversion?”
   “Yes, trip over the dog, spill a glass of wine on your attacker, burst into song, challenge your attacker to a duel.”

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “Conversation is a minefield until you learn the conventions, Jane dear.”
   “I’ll never learn all the rules,” muttered Jane.
   “Yes, you will,” said Phryne. “Then you can bend them.”

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

Enough of this … I am not cut out to be a guide to youth. I think youth can get itself into enough trouble without my help, don’t you, Youth?
