"So that you mean you＇ve a wild side that＇s unknown to her?"
"Ah no, I fear my darkest sides are my tamest. I mean that having no faults, for your aunt, means that one＇s never late for dinner—that is for her dinner. I was not late, by the way, the other day, when you came back from London; the clock was just at eight when I came into the drawing-room: it was the rest of you that were before the time. It means that one answers a letter the day one gets it and that when one comes to stay with her one doesn＇t bring too much luggage and is careful not to be taken ill. For Mrs. Touchett those things constitute virtue; it＇s a blessing to be able to reduce it to its elements."
