MaughamFrom The Razor’s Edge (1944):

“Have you never thought of divorcing Gray?”
“I’ve got no reason for divorcing him.”
“That doesn’t prevent your countrywomen from divorcing their husbands when they have a mind to.”
She laughed.
‘Why d’you suppose they do it?”
“Don’t you know? Because American women expect to find in their husbands a perfection that English women only hope to find in their butlers.”

— Somerset Maugham
