Lady Caroline Lamb

Buckham:
[Caroline and Buckham have been watching Byron bare-knuckle boxing] Haven't seen you about, milord.

Lord Byron:
No sir, haven't been about.

Lady Caroline Lamb:
Where *have* you been?

Lord Byron:
I've been in Turkey.

Lady Caroline Lamb:
Turkey? Was Turkey interesting?

Lord Byron:
Yes ma'am, very.

Buckham:
Was that where you learned to fight like a *savage*?

Lord Byron:
No sir, I learned that at Harrow.

ADC to Wellington:
[Caroline has just slashed her wrists] Good God, your Grace! She just tried to kill herself!

Duke of Wellington:
Nonsense, me boy. No difficulty about killing yourself, if you really mean to.

Lady Melbourne:
[on being told that Caroline has "died of a broken heart"] My God... wouldn't she!
