Julia Quinn Quote

First of all, this goes no further than this room.Agreed, she said quickly.Anthony looked pointedly at Simon.Of course, he replied.Mother would be devastated if she learned the truth.Actually, Simon murmured, I rather think your mother would applaud our ingenuity, but since you have quite obviously known her longer, I bow to your discretion.Anthony shot him a frosty look. Second, under no circumstances are the two of you to be alone together. Ever.Well, that should be easy, Daphne said, as we wouldn't be allowed to be alone if we were courting in truth, anyway.Simon recalled their brief interlude in the hall at Lady Danbury's house, and found it a pity that he wasn't to be allowed any more private time with Daphne, but he recognized a brick wall when he saw one, especially when said wall happened to be named Anthony Bridgerton. So he just nodded and murmured his assent.Third— There is a third? Daphne asked.            There would be thirty if I could think of them, Anthony growled.                                        Very well, she acceded, looking most aggrieved. If you must.
