Shirley Rousseau Murphy Quote

Gillie caught Delilah's hand before it struck, and held it firmly in his own. He stared at her for a long time, but said nothing. Then at last he spoke softly, Don't you hurt her. Not ever. If you ever hurt her I will come back and witch you, old trollop, and you will wish you had never been born. His words were so soft, so measured, and so filled with meaning that a shiver went through the room.
