Excerpt from London Society, Vol. 66: A Monthly Magazine of Light and Amusing Literature for Hours of Relaxation; July to December, 1894
Concerning lies - the Dowager Lady Forrester was wont to say that to tell one badly is a contemptible blunder, but that to tell one well amounts to a fine art. The one must be looked back upon with shame, whilst the other may be justly regarded with a sense of pardonable pride.
It is quite certain that her ladyship herself, had by a long and varied experience, earned the right to consider most of the false hoods she had uttered through life under the latter and more favourable heading.
