“Oh indeed! Our and the Wilfers' Mutual Friend, my dear.”
“Did you know, ma'am, that our mutual friend can say "kiss my arse" in six languages?”
“...I'm shy in person - so afraid to confess my love - I need a go-between - our mutual friend, the Moon...”
“Oh, dear--did I forget to mention that you can, indeed, have it all, but you need a lot of help!”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”
“To save our friends’ nerves, I suggest we meet on a plane of brutal courtesy. It need not interfere with our mutual distrust.” -Francis Crawford of Lymond”
