If only they knew



It’s so easy, as none knows better than I, to sneer at the Pantaloons of this world, and the cheated wives, too, while the rakes and tarts make fools of them – ‘If only they knew, ho-ho!’ Perhaps they do, or suspect, but would just rather not let on.



Flashman at the Charge, p.49, Pan edition, 5th printing, 1979.
