Daphne du Maurier Quote
Mary Rose that did it. Mary Rose was a country girl. Always hiding up apple trees, and then disappearing on the island. She was a ghost, and Charles fell in love with the ghost. What did you fall in love with? asked Niall. As I was being Mary Rose, I fell in love with Simon, said Maria. And Charles was my idea of Simon. Quiet, dependable, devoted. Besides, at that particular time there was no one much around. And all those flowers.
