" WHAT DID SHE mean by be a lady? Well, she didn’t mean somebody who serves tea at four in the afternoon. What she meant was, a lady doesn’t waste time on unproductive emotions. A lady doesn’t snap back in anger. She isn’t envious. She is a lady—that is, if an unkind word is spoken, it’s as though she didn’t hear it. "
