What if you were to get lost," he pointed out. Oh, that was the final straw. She whirled around. "However could that happen, my lord?" She notched her chin up a bit. "We're standing on an island. Eventually I would come to an edge."

You're very quiet," Benedict said softly. "I was just thinking." "About?" "About what I'd miss-- and what I wouldn't miss-- should my life drastically change." His eyes grew intense. "And do you expect it to drastically change?" She shook her head and tried to keep the sadness out of her voice when she answered, "No." His voice grew so quiet it was almost a whisper. "Do you want it to change?" "Yes," she sighed, before she could stop..

Your upbringing must have been the complete opposite of lonely," she said, "with so many brothers and sisters about." "You know who I am," he stated. She nodded. "I didn't at first." He walked over to the balustrade and leaned one hip against it, crossing his arms. "What gave me away?" "It was your brother, actually. You looked so alike--" "Even with our masks?" "Even with your masks," she said with an indulgent smile. "Lady Whistledo..

Do you here?" Sophie asked dryly. "No," he said, plopping down into the chair next to her, "although my mother is constantly telling me to make myself right at home." She could think of no witty rejoinder, so she merely "hmmphed" and stuck her nose back in her book. He plunked his feet on the small table in front. "And what are we reading today?" "That question," she said, snapping the book shut but leaving her finger in to mark her p..

What are you up to?" she asked. "Why would you think I'm up to anything?" Her lips pursed before she said, "You wouldn't be you if you weren't up to something." He smiled at that. "I do believe that was a compliment." "It wasn't necessarily intended as such." "But nonetheless," he said mildly, "that's how I choose to take it." -Sophie & Benedict"

She was here, with him, and she felt like heaven. The soft scent of her hair, the slight taste of salt on her skin-- she was, he thought, born to rest in the shelter of his arms. And he was born to hold her. -Benedict's thoughts about Sophie

She turned, pasting a brilliant smile on her face. She was going to charm this man until - until - well, until he was charmed. She opened her mouth to slay him with something utterly witty and sophisticated, but before she could form even a sound, he leaned in closer, his eyes warm and dangerous, and said, "I find myself unbearably curious about that smile." She blinked. If she didn't know better, she'd think that he was trying to charm her..

But from the mocking curve of his smile, she was fairly certain she'd not been able to mask her first flash of surprise. "Forgive me," he said smoothly, and she shivered, because his voice -- it wasn't what she'd thought it would be. It sounded like the smell of brandy, and it felt like the taste of chocolate. And she wasn't so certain why she'd shivered, because now she felt rather warm."

Your eyes," he murmured. "They're blue. I thought they might be, given your coloring, but it was difficult to tell from so far away." She froze, but he had to admire her adherence to purpose as she said, "I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about." He leaned in just enough so that she would notice. "Mine are brown." She looked as if she were about to make a retort, but instead she blinked, and almost appeared to be peering at him mor..

In the end, it was the little details of the wedding that Daphne remembered. There were tears in her mother's eyes (and then eventually on her face), and Anthony's voice had been oddly hoarse when he stepped forward to give her away. Hyacinth had strewn her rose petals too quickly, and there were none left by the time she reached the altar. Gregory sneezed three times before they even got to their vows. And she remembered the look of concen..

George" she practically squealed, and once again he shushed her. "You never learn, do you?" he murmured against her skin. "You're the one who's making me scream." "That wasn't a scream," he said with a cocktail smile. she eyed him with alarm. "I didn't mean it as a dare." He laughed aloud--although more quietly than she'd done--at that. "Merely planning for the future, when volume is not an issue." "George, there are servants!" "Who work f..

She felt his hands move to the fastening of his breeches, and then he swore under his breath as he was forced to roll off her in order to (in his words), "get the bloody things off." She couldn't help but chuckle at his profanity; he seemed to be having a much rougher time of it than she imagined was usual. "You're laughing?" he asked, his brows rising into a daring arch. "You should be glad I was already out of my gown," she told him. "Thi..

I like Lord Hugh very much. It's true that he can be a little eccentric, but he's terribly clever. And he's a very good shot." All eyes swung back to Frances. "He shot Cousin Daniel in the shoulder," Sarah reminded her. "He's a very good shot when he's sober," Frances clarified. "Daniel said so."

You looked lonely." Hugh smiled again. It was the sort of thing an adult would never have said aloud. And precisely the reason he'd rather have been chatting with her than anyone else in the room. "I was alone, not lonely." Frances frowned, considering that. Hugh was just about to explain the difference when she cocked her head and asked, "Are you sure?" "Alone is a state of being," he explained, "whereas lonely is--" "I know that," she cut..

Do you know how the tradition of the bridal bouquet toss was formed?" Hugh asked. Sarah shook her head. "Are you asking me because you know, or are you asking me because you want to know?" He ignored her slight sarcasm and said, "Brides are considered to be good luck, and many centuries ago young women who wanted a piece of that luck tried quite literally to get a piece of it by tearing off bits of her gown." "That's barbaric!" Frances excl..

I think it was your language," Miranda said mildly. "She said most of them were idiots, too." "That is not at all what I said," Olivia put in. "I said they were bores." "Sheep," Miranda confirmed.

Sophie looked down and realized with horror that she'd completely forgotten she was wearing men's clothes. Men's clothes so big that she could barely keep the breeches from falling to her feet. "My clothes were wet," she explained, "from the rain." Mr. Crabtree nodded sympathetically. "Quite a storm last night. That's why ..
