Maid Marian and Crotchet Castle Quotes

“They had set an example of profligate contempt for truth, of which the success was in proportion to the effrontery, and when their prosperity had filled the market with competitors, they cried out against their own reflected sin, as if they had never committed it, or were entitled to a monopoly of it.”
― Thomas Love Peacock, Maid Marian and Crotchet Castle
