opinion. I rather like it.
She always said she had no morals, but plenty of scruples. I asked her (I was about 7 or 8, I think) what the difference was between them.
She said that morals are what other people tell you you should have; scruples are what you tell yourself you should have.
For her, that certainly amounted to 'character when nobody was looking' !
