“Mr. Copperfield chuckled. ‘You’re so crazy,’ he said to her with indulgence. He was delighted to be in the tropics at last and he was more than pleased with himself that he had managed to dissuade his wife from stopping at a ridiculously expensive hotel where they would have been surrounded by tourists. He realized that this hotel was sinister, but that was what he loved.”

(Jane Bowles, Two Serious Ladies, p. 39.)
