Sinclair Lewis Quote

And for all her theoretical desire to make their house a refuge for him and for whomever he liked to invite, she had never learned to keep her opinions of people to herself. When she was bored by callers, she would beg Do you mind if I run up to bed now--such a headache, with a bright friendliness which fooled no one save herself, and which left their guests chilled and awkward.
