Apparently Ann Dorland had not the knack of inspiring passionate devotion. "Not a very lively house, is it, for a young girl like yourself?"
"Dull as ditchwater," agreed Nellie, frankly. "Miss Dorland would have what they call studio parties sometimse, but not at all smart and nearly all young ladies - artists and such-like."
(From The Unpleasantness At the Bellona Club, by Dorothy L. Sayers. Needless to say, the quote above raises the important question for discussion: Just how dull is ditchwater?)
