Georgette Heyer Quote
Desford said abruptly: How old are you, my child? Sixteen? Seventeen?Oh, no, I am much older than that! she replied. I'm as old as Lucasta - all but a few weeks!Then why are you not downstairs dancing with the rest of them? he demanded. You must surely be out!No, I'm not, she said. I don't suppose I ever shall be, either. Unless my papa turns out not to be dead, and comes home to take care of me himself. But I don't think that at all likely, and even if he did come home it wouldn't be of the least use, because he seems never to have sixpence to scratch with. I am afraid he is not a very respectable person. My aunt says he was obliged to go abroad on account of being monstrously in debt. She sighed, and said wistfully: I know that one ought not to criticize one's father, but I can't help feeling that it was just a little thoughtless of him to abandon me.
