False, cowardly logic, by which all male jilts seek to excuse their own treachery to themselves and to others!
"The Claverings"
Anthony Trollope
So, she jilts me, and I get a pistol, or I get a neat bit of rope, or I take a clean header with a cannon-ball at my heels, or I go to the chemist's and ask for stuff to poison rats,-anything a fool'd do under the circumstances, it don't matter what."
"The Complete Project Gutenberg Works of George Meredith"
George Meredith
In the Gazette he'll put us all by name; My love will figure under leaded headings, With jilts, and twins, and countermanded weddings.
"Love's Comedy"
Henrik Ibsen
