Julia Quinn Quote

He turned to her. Didn’t you see the lightning strike the steeple?She recovered with a sip of tea, then smiled sweetly. I was listening too devotedly to the sermon.Claptrap last week, Lady D announced. I think the priest is getting old.Gareth opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, his grandmother’s cane swung around in a remarkably steady horizontal arc. Don’t, she warned, make a comment beginning with the words, ‘Coming from you…’I wouldn’t dream of it, he demurred.Of course you would, she stated. You wouldn’t be my grandson if you wouldn’t. She turned to Hyacinth. Don’t you agree?To her credit, Hyacinth folded her hands in her lap and said, Surely there is no right answer to that question.Smart girl, Lady D said approvingly.I learn from the master.Lady Danbury beamed.
