«Lee, looking decidedly like The Caine Mutiny's Captain Queeg, was peering at her, his bushy grey eyebrows rising up and down. He closed one eye in a conspiratorial wink, cupped his hand to the side of his mouth, and asked her in a well-heard stage whisper, 'Did anyone ever kiss your cunt?' Lee wanted, I'm sure, to shock by using that word, though he was somehow able to use it in a way that wasn't quite as bad as if someone else had. No one could get away with it like he could. This lovely woman was silent for a moment, then drew herself up and in her very proper manner replied quite haughtily, 'As a matter of fact they have.'»
