Judith McNaught Quote

We must not let her uncle send her into the gloom, which is what he always does.Is there a means to stop him? Alex asked, smiling.Bentner straightened, nodded, and said with dignified force, I, for one, am in favor of shoving him off London Bridge. Aaron favors poison.There was anger and frustration in his words, but no real menace, and Alex responded with a conspiratorial smile. I think I prefer your method, Bentner-it’s tidier. Alexandra’s remark had been teasing, and Bentner’s reply was a formal bow, but as they looked at each other for a moment they both acknowledged the unspoken communication they’d just exchanged. The butler had informed her that, should the staff’s help be needed in any way in future, the duchess could depend upon their complete, unquestioning loyalty. The duchess’s answer had assured him that, far from resenting his intrusion, she appreciated the information and would keep it in mind should such an occasion occur.
