“‘And Samaria. Samaria didn’t sin half as much as you. You’ve committed far more obscenities than she ever did. Why, you make your two sisters look good in comparison with what you’ve done!

But you’re going to have to live with it. What a reputation to carry into history: outsinning your two sisters!
