Lady Violet quotes:

Principles are like prayers; noble, of course, but awkward at a party.

Everyone goes down the aisle with half the story hidden.

If I were to search for logic, I would not look for it among the English upper class.

First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I'm living in an H.G. Wells novel.

It's the job of grandmothers to interfere.

Love is a far more dangerous motive than dislike.

No family is ever what it seems from the outside.
