Elizabeth Hoyt Quote
She leaned forward, her gaze so intense that Helen wanted to look away. And I love him more for it. Do you hear me? He was a good man when he went away to the Colonies. He came back an extraordinary man. So many think that bravery is a single act of valor in a field of battle—no forethought, no contemplation of the consequences. An act over in a second or a minute or two at most. What my brother has done, is doing now, is to live with his burden for years. He knows that he will spend the rest of his life with it. And he soldiers on. She sat back in her chair, her gaze still locked with Helen’s. That to my mind is what real bravery is.-Sophia to Helen about Alistair.
