Quotable

"I suggest that we stop arguing," said Ramsey. "If you're going to find fault with my memoirs on matters of detail, then I'm not sure if it will be at all productive to read them to you."

Betty sprang to her own defence. "I was not finding fault, as you put it. I was merely wanting to keep the historical record straight. These things are important. Imagine what the world would be like if memoirs were misleading."
