“Once a man started killing his wife…”

Here is another great line from Graham Greene, on page 67 of The Ministry of Fear (Penguin Classics):

“…a kind of self-protective instinct would have made Mrs. Wilcox hate him. Once a man started killing his wife, she would have ungrammatically thought, you couldn’t tell where it would stop.”

The line sounds diabolical out of context, but trust me, it works great in context. So read the book!
