Georgette Heyer Quote
She accepted the tea he had brought, with a word of thanks and a charming smile, but could not resist the impulse to ask him if he was not ravished by Neroli’s voice. He replied promptly: ‘Not entirely. A little too much , don’t you agree?’ ‘Ah, I perceive that you are an expert!’ said Abby, controlling a quivering lip. ‘You must enlighten my ignorance, sir! What does that mean, if you please?’ ‘Well, my Latin is pretty rusty, but I should think it means to tremble,’ he said coolly. ‘She does, too, like a blancmanger.

You know I didn’t!’ ‘I thought she had too much of everything,’ he said frankly.
