Quote from Richard in Welcome to the Doll House
Richard: Emily, is she home? Emily: No, she's out. I wouldn't burst in here like this if she were home. Richard: We should not be here. This is prowling. Emily: We're not prowling. You can't prowl in your own house. This is called "showing concern." Now, tell me what we're looking for. Richard: I-I don't feel good about this. It's usually at this point in the John Le Carre novels where things go horribly wrong.
