Thanks, Amy - it does sound like a kind of quote that one wishes someone had said.

As I pointed out to Fred privately, what I find interesting is that it's
found in her rehabilitation trial, which was posthumous. So, the quote
is reported/indirect/hearsay. Very much like the "heart of a woman,
stomach of a man" quote attributed to QEI (recorded in someone else's
letter years later).
