From Love in a Cold Climate, by Nancy Mitford
LADY MONTDORE
"As I got to know Lady Montdore more intimately, I began to realize that her selfishness was monumental. She had no thoughts except in relation to herself, could discuss no subject without cleverly edging it round to something directly pertaining to her. The only thing she ever wanted to know about people was what impression did she make on them, and she would do anything to find this out, sometimes digging traps for the unwary, into which, in my innocence, I was very apt to tumble."
From Part II, Chapter 2
