Quote #10

(She curled her hair nearly every evening nowadays and, since the house was more or less straight, she would occasionally change to dinner into a satin dress; it hung like a sack, but Homily called it "Grecian.") "We could use your painted ceiling," she explained to Arrietty, "and there are quite enough of those toy builder's blocks to make a parquet floor." ("Parkay," she would say. "Par-r-r-kay…," just like a Harpsichord.) (16.8)

Looks like Homily isn't all that different from the relatives she disses.
