Daphne du Maurier Quote
They’ve been drinking too, said Pappy, examining the tooth-glass. Cognac, judging by the smell. I never knew my daughter drank. She doesn’t, said Celia, smoothing Pappy’s bed. She always has orangeade. Unless it’s a first night, when she has champagne. Then it must be Niall, said Pappy. Someone—and who can it be but Niall?—has been pouring cognac into my tooth-glass. I shall attack Freada. Freada is responsible. He filled the tooth-glass with cognac for himself

About Daphne du Maurier
Although du Maurier is classed as a romantic novelist, her stories have been described as "moody and resonant" with overtones of the paranormal. Her bestselling works were not at first taken seriously by critics, but they have since earned an enduring reputation for narrative craft. Many have been successfully adapted into films, including the novels Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek, My Cousin Rachel and Jamaica Inn, and the short stories "The Birds" and "Don't Look Now". Du Maurier spent much of her life in Cornwall, where most of her works are set. As her fame increased, she became more reclusive.
