For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.

Slow down. Make a point of revisiting passages that seem especially rich, or especially confusing, or for that matter especially offensive.

Leaning into the wall as if all of the hunger of looking would find the secret of her sleepless unease there.

The aim of flattery is to soothe and encourage us by assuring us of the truth of an opinion we have already formed about ourselves.

The trouble with most Englishwomen is that they will dress as if they had been a mouse in a previous incarnation they do not want to attract attention.
