"There goes that Benson girl. I hear she has the morals of a hyena and is a disgrace to her whole family." "She throws herself at boys and keeps with a bad crowd... And her school marks are appalling." "You mark my words, before long the world will turn its back on her, and she'll end up in degradation. Shame and ruin, with nobody to thank but herself."

"I don't know how you could even think such a thing." "I guess I'm just mean."
