From Something That May Shock And Discredit You, Daniel Lavery

“She had bought herself a blotting book, writing case, pen-holder, and envelopes, although she had no one to write to; she dusted her what-not, looked at herself in the glass, picked up a book, and then, dreaming between the lines, let it drop on her knees.

— Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
