Georgette Heyer Quote

[Inspector Harding] ...To start with, I know that the General didn't get on with his son, but seemed to prefer his nephew; I know that he disapproved violently of Miss de Silva, and behaved towards her with unparalleled cruelty. How much? interrupted Dinah. Harding replied with perfect gravity: No absinthe, no shower in her bathroom... Did she tell you all that? said Dinah. Don't you think she's rather good value? Yes, but she wastes my time.
