Judith McNaught Quote
I thought you were angry with me for interfering, she said to his shoulder.There was a smile in his voice as he answered, Not angry. Stunned.Well, I couldn’t let them call you a cheat when I knew perfectly well you weren’t.I imagine I’ve been called worse, he said mildly. Particularly by your hotheaded young friend Everly.Elizabeth wondered what could be worse than being called a cheat, but good manners forbade her asking. Lifting her head, she gazed apprehensively into his eyes and asked, You won’t mean to demand satisfaction from Lord Everly at a later date, do you?I hope, he teased, grinning, that I’m not so ungrateful as to spoil all your handiwork in the card room by doing such a thing. Besides, it would be very impolite of me to kill him when you’d just made it very clear he’d already engaged himself to escort you tomorrow.
