    ... it was not very unusual at Washington for a lady to take the arm of a gentleman, who was neither her husband, her father, nor her brother. This remarkable relaxation of American decorum has been probably introduced by the foreign legations.
    Frances Trollope (1780–1863)

    Don’t use that word, Frank. We don’t like it. Say rather that we are undead, immortal.
    —Eric Taylor. Robert Siodmak. Katherine Caldwell (Louise Allbritton)
