“DeVere smiled. "A mistress is a fine thing, Ned, but a married mistress with a compacent husband is the very best bargain. They cost far less tokeep, make fewer demands, and should any inconvenient package arrive, it may easily be presented to the cuckold, an altogether neat arrangement.”

“It is written that a wife shall be submissive to her husband. It is nowhere written that his mistress should be.”

“A husband I may be, but the change is my mistress and I can never stray." -Leo Bailey Demons Bride”

“The loveliest Muse in the world does not feed her owner; these girls make fine mistresses but terrible wives”

“Good fortune is the best of all mistresses.”

“Ned seemed so different from any other man of her acquaintance, and, certainly, the antithesis of the rake she had set her sights on. She had chosen DeVere as her best prospect, yet after only this short time in Ned's company, she couldn't help fervently wishing that he was DeVere. She should feel triumphant that her goal was within easy reach... In truth, it was as if her appetite had been whetted for beefsteak...only to be served liver instead.-A WILD NIGHT'S BRIDE”
