From the library

It makes you feel very virtuous when you forgive people, doesn’t it?
Anne of Green Gables, p. 218 · C1
But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs.
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, p. 1 · B2
