At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived. - [Housework : Life] You should always believe what you read in the newspapers, for that makes them more interesting. - [Newspapers] Love's a disease. But curable. - Crewe Train [Love] "Take my camel, dear," said my aunt Dot, as she climbed down from this animal on her return from High Mass. The camel, a white Arabian Dhalur (single hump) from the famous herd of the Ruola tribe, had been a parting present, its saddle-bags stuffed with low-carat gold and flashy orient gems, from a rich desert tycoon who owned a Levantine hotel near Palmyra. I always thought it to my aunt's credit that, in view of the camel's provenance, she had not named it Zenobia, Longinus, or Aurelian, as lesser women would have done; she had, instead, always called it, in a distant voice, my camel, or the camel. - The Towers of Trebizond [Books (First Lines)]
