By the end of the year it happened that she had quite lost interest in the man himself, but was deeply absorbed in his mind, from which she had extracted, among other things, his religion as a pith from a husk.

the creme de la creme
the dialogue for the character of Jean Brodie is almost impossible to excerpt, it is all pitch-perfect and eminently quotable.

I know it makes me look bad to ask, but have you seen the movie? The fact that the Mad Magazine parody was titled "The Prime of Miss Jean's Body" got me interested when I was a youth, but I have never followed up and seen it. Sorry to drag the dialogue down, but interested in your comments.
