Female of the species more deadly

Look at our family. My brother Clarence is as gentle a soul as ever said, "What ho!" to a pig, and I, as you must have noticed already, am absolutely charming, but the only one of my sisters whom I would not be afraid to meet down a dark alley is Diana.

(Clarence Threepwood, from Sunset at Blandings by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
