“Odd, said Miss Pettigrew conversationally, 'the undermining effect of flowers on a woman's common sense.”
Winifred Watson, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

“All the men send you orchids because they're expensive and they know that you know they are. But I always kind of think they're cheap, don't you, just because they're expensive. Like telling someone how much you paid for something to show off.”
Winifred Watson, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

“All these years she had never had the wicked thrill of powdering her nose. Others had experienced that joy. Never she. And all because she lacked courage.”
Winifred Watson, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
