Landlady Quote by Anonymous
““Rude, in fact,’ sniffed the landlady. ‘Tell me, in past years, did Miss Parish ever show any signs that she might turn out a bit . . . wild?’ Before the girls could answer, however, a sleep-fuddled figure appeared at the parlour door. Violet’s hair was tousled, her makeup hastily applied and her frown deep enough to suggest that she had overheard the last few words. ‘Yes,’ she declared, in answer to the hanging question. ‘I spent my entire childhood completely naked.””
