From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-09-23:

"The women of America labored under the illusion that they were to be flirtatious until they landed a husband and paragons of virtue thereafter, when every self-respecting Frenchwoman subscribed to the opposite approach; what passed for gallantry in one country was commonly known as adultery in the other." -- Stacy Schiff, biographer, from A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America.
