Mistress
 
  Mistresses, like friends, are lost by letting ’em handle your money.
            —Sir John Vanbrugh		  1
  Mistresses are like books. If you pore upon them too much, they doze you, and make you unfit for company; but if used discreetly you are the fitter for conversation by ’em.
            —William Wycherley		  2
