This is an easy one, a quote I chose in honor of Lady Mary: "I was raised in a convent," she told me. "I won the good behavior prize every year I was there. I thought little girls who put extra spoons of sugar in their chocolate went to hell for gluttony. I didn't even know there was such a thing as profanity until I was eighteen. The first time I heard any I damned near fainted." She spit on the rug in front of her, tilted her chair back, put her crossed feet on my bed, and asked: "What do you think of that?" -- Dinah Brand speaking, in Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett

Hi Kim, I love this quote! But it's definitely not easy. I'll try the Page of Cups, a lovely and sweet person.

The Papess ?

Hi, Lady Mary! "A lovely and sweet person." I like that. :laugh: But sorry, not the Page of Cups. Hi, jmd. The Papess is an interesting guess, but not the card I was looking for. Keep trying!

How about the Devil? Wasn't he/she an angel before thrown out of Heaven? :D

Eight of Cups would be my first guess......

See, I told you it was easy. :) I chose the Devil for Dinah Brand and this quote because she displays the Devil's provocativeness, that "in your face" attitude of the truly Devilish; and also, yes, because she is a fallen woman. From the convent to the streets in a few short years. Poor Dinah! Back over to you, Lady Mary! Kim
