Georgette Heyer Quote
Well, if you sat eating as though nothing mattered save your dinner I’m not surprised, said Julianaviciously. If I were not so angry with her, the deceitful, sly wretch, I could pity her for all she musthave undergone at your hands.Seeing me eat was the least of her sufferings, answered the Marquis. She underwent much, but itmay interest you to know, Juliana, that she never treated me to the vapours, as you seem like to do.Then I can only say, Vidal, that either she had no notion what a horrid brutal man you are, or that sheis just a dull creature with no nerves at all.For a moment Vidal did not answer. Then he said in a level voice: She knew. His lip curled. Heglanced scornfully at his cousin. Had I carried you off as I carried her you would have died of frightor hysterics, Juliana. Make no mistake, my dear; Mary was so desperately afraid she tried to put abullet through me.
