Diane Setterfield Quote
Have you got a birthday? Aurelius asked. Yes. I’ve got a birthday. All my unsaid words went back to wherever they had been all these years. I’ll make a note of it, shall I? he said brightly. Then I can send you a card. I feigned a smile. It’s coming up soon, actually. Aurelius opened a little blue notebook divided into months. The nineteenth, I told him, and he wrote it down with a pencil so small it looked like a toothpick in his huge hand.
