"A woman can be overdressed but never over elegant."

"Not all women have the figure of Venus, yet nothing should be hidden."

"You know Mr Vaughan, these were very difficult times, and people had to do very terrible things to get along."

"Look how ridiculous these women are, wearing clothes by a man who doesn't know women, never had one, and dreams of being one."

"One shouldn't spend all one's time dressing. All one needs are two or three suits, as long as they and everything to go with them are perfect."
