Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


"Who are her people?" grumbled the old gentleman. "Has she got any?"


Lord Henry shook his head. "American girls are as clever at concealing
their parents, as English women are at concealing their past," he said,
rising to go.


"They are pork-packers, I suppose?"


"I hope so, Uncle George, for Dartmoor's sake. I am told
that pork-packing is the most lucrative profession in America,
after politics."
