Winnie was having one of his famously cordial NOT chats with Lady Astor. As I recall the exchange went something like this:

Lady Astor: Sir Winston, you are drunk. Very, very, drunk.

Sir Winnie: I am indeed quite drunk madam. And you are ugly, very, very ugly. The differance is, in the morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly.

In another exchange Lady Astor said something like: If you were my husband, I'd put poison in your tea.

To which Winston replied: And if I were your husband madam, I'd drink it.
