"There might have been an old woman come out a while back. Dressed in black, was she? I wasn't paying much attention.
The Duke paused in his walk and surveyed his wife with amazement. "Evelyn, are you quite mad?" "Not in the least. You have more houses than you know what to do with, and a great deal more money than anybody in the world ought to have. If they ever do set up the guillotine at Hyde Park Corner, we shall be among the first we ought to be!"
