It is not every one who has the courage to bring dogs into an expensive private hotel; to bring one dog indicates that you are not accustomed to deny yourself small pleasures for the sake of a few extra shillings; to bring two indicates that you have no fear of hotel-managers and that you are in the habit of regarding your own whim as nature's law.
A. Bennett, The old wives' tale (1908), 422
A digital form of the sadly lost fashion for copying out memorable passages from texts. I kept losing my actual book.
