Quotation from: Dubliners

Written by: James Joyce

"So that we had better go to supper," said Mary Jane, "and finish
the discussion afterwards."

On the landing outside the drawing-room Gabriel found his wife
and Mary Jane trying to persuade Miss Ivors to stay for supper. But
Miss Ivors, who had put on her hat and was buttoning her cloak,
would not stay. She did not feel in the least hungry and she had
already overstayed her time.
