"There is nothing that is quite so reassuring……" — Patricia C. Wrede
"There is nothing that is quite so reassuring in an awkward situation as knowing that one is well turned-out, and while I hope I am not so fainthearted as to require such stratagems, I am not so foolish as to overlook their value."
