Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


"It is simply because she remembers you when you were a little girl,
Lady Narborough," said Lord Henry. "She is the one link between us
and your short frocks."


"She does not remember my short frocks at all, Lord Henry.
But I remember her very well at Vienna thirty years ago,
and how decolletee she was then."


"She is still decolletee," he answered, taking an olive in his long fingers;
"and when she is in a very smart gown she looks like an edition de luxe
of a bad French novel. She is really wonderful, and full of surprises.
Her capacity for family affection is extraordinary. When her third husband
died, her hair turned quite gold from grief."
