Dans une lettre de Juliet à Sophie (p. 76, version poche) :
"Now, about Markham V. Reynolds (Junior). Your questions regarding that gentleman are very delicate, very subtle, very much like being struck on the head by a mallet. Am I in love with him? What kind of a question is that ? It's a tuba among the flutes, and I expect better of you. The first rule of snooping is to come at it sideways -when you began writing me dizzy letters about Alexander, I didn't ast if you were in love with him, I asked what his favourite animal was. And your answer told me everything I needed to know about him - how many men would admit that they loved ducks ? (This brings up an important point I don't know what Mark's favourite animal is. I doubt if it's a duck).
