| c4fb64a | Benedict suddenly had to get away. It was either that or kill the twittering ninnyhammer, and with so many witnesses, he didn't think he could get away with it. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 44a41d3 | she was looking at him as if he'd just dropped fully formed from the sky. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 3c0374b | And could it even really be called a kiss? It had been very, very short. And did it mean anything if the kisser (him) had been feeling terribly grateful to the kissee (her) and possibly even indebted, in the most elemental of ways? She'd saved his life, after all. A kiss was not entirely out of order. Plus, he had said, "Forgive me." Did it count as a kiss if the kisser had asked for forgiveness? Honoria thought not." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 4dcbe0f | Will you leave my companion alone!" the dowager barked. He sighed and shook his head toward Miss Eversleigh. "She"s so domineering, don"t you think?" Miss Eversleigh blushed. Truly, it was the prettiest pink he"d ever seen. "Pity about these bindings," he continued. "We do seem to be caught in a romantic moment, your employer"s acidic presence aside, and it would be far easier to drop one exquisite kiss on the back of your hand were I able .. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 5441c25 | Daisy said boldly. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." "Yes, but it is a wise man who understands his limits." "Who said that?" Daisy asked. "I did," Honoria answered impatiently" | Julia Quinn | ||
| 91db8de | It was going to be embarrassing regardless of what music they chose, but Honoria didn't have the heart to say it to her face. On the other hand, whichever piece they performed, they would surely butcher it past recognition. Could a difficult piece played badly be that much worse than a slightly less difficult piece played badly? | Julia Quinn | ||
| 18b1a82 | Consanguinity has never seemed to be one of your prerequisites for plain speaking." "Touche," she returned, giving him a single nod of approval. "I was merely pointing out that you are quite stealthy in your good humor. This I applaud wholeheartedly." "I am aquiver with glee." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 5dd11a0 | But if he had indeed blushed-and his cheeks did feel a touch warm-neither of his brothers saw it, because they didn't say anything, and if there was anything in life as certain as, say, the sun rising in the east,it was that a Bridgerton never passed up the opportunity to tease and torment another Bridgerton. "She's been talking about Penelope Featherington nonstop," Colin said with a scowl. "I tell you, I've known the girl since we were bo.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 6f54910 | He wasn't sure how he ought to feel about this. On the other hand . . . boiled meat! | Julia Quinn | ||
| 8126c51 | He was trying not to grin, but it was exceedingly difficult with Lady Penwood gasping like a fish on land. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 9df3446 | An awkward pause fell across the conversation. Daphne was shifting from foot to foot, not at all certain what to say to the duke, when Nigel exhibited stellar timing for the first time in his life, and sat up. "Daphne?" he said, blinking as if he couldn't see straight. "Daphne, is that you?" "Good God, Miss Bridgerton," the duke swore, "how hard did you hit him?" "Hard enough to knock him down, but no worse than that, I swear!" Her brow .. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 8a0e5fe | What are you doing here?"Lady Vickers asked, turning her frosty glare to Sebastian. "Exactly what you think, my lady," he said." | bevelstoke sebastian-grey ten-things-i-love-about-you julia-quinn | Julia Quinn | |
| bc0abab | Ti amo - le disse a voce bassa e ardente - Ti amo con tutto quello che sono, con tutto quello che sono stato e con tutto quello che spero di essere. - Colin... - Ti amo con il mio passato e ti amo per il mio futuro. - La bacio dolcemente sulle labbra - Ti amo per i figli che avremo e per gli anni che vivremo insieme. Ti amo con tutto me stesso e per ognuno dei miei sorrisi e, piu ancora, per tutto cio che sei e per ogni tuo sorriso. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 7deb38b | Maybe she was a wallflower. There was no shame in that. Especially not if one enjoyed being a wallflower. | love sir-richard wallflower julia-quinn pride | Julia Quinn | |
| 5f7572b | So now you're jumping out at me from ?" "Of course not." He looked affronted. "That was a staircase." Sophie peered around him. It was the side staircase. The staircase. Certainly not anyplace a family member would just to be walking. "Do you often creep down the side staircase?" she asked, crossing her arms. He leaned forward, just close enough to make her slightly ucomfortable, and, although she would never admit it to anyone, barely.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| a684b33 | What did one say when a gentleman confessed to a shortcoming? She couldn't recall ever hearing one do so before, but surely, sometime in the course of history, some gentleman had. (Lucy about Gregory, On the Way to the Wedding, Bridgertons #8, by Julia Quinn). | Julia Quinn | ||
| 2f7db12 | I'd wager you have a vengeful streak a mile wide," he muttered. "I am the least vengeful person I know," she said with a sniff. "And if you think otherwise, then perhaps you ought not to marry me." "You're marrying me," he ground out, "if I have to drag you to the altar bound and gagged." Ellie smiled waspishly. "You could try," she taunted, "but in your condition you couldn't drag a flea." "And you say you're not vengeful." "I seem to be d.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 506274b | You can't fix this,' she ground out. 'That is not true. There is nothing anyone could hold over you that could not be overcome.' 'By what?' she demanded. 'Rainbows and sprites and the everlasting good wishes of your family? It won't work, Gregory. It won't. The Bridgertons may be powerful, but you cannot change the past, and you cannot bend the future to suit your whims ... You don't understand. You can't possibly. You are all so happy, so .. | Julia Quinn | ||
| c399d5f | I'm home'', he said against her skin, and she realized it was the truth. ''I'm home, too''. | love | Julia Quinn | |
| 0bf53c9 | Eloise, whose mouth was as sharp as Hyacinth's (though thankfully tempered by some discretion), had remarked that they had best get Hyacinth married off quickly or their mother was going to become an alcoholic. Lady Bridgerton had not appreciated the comment, although she privately thought it might be true. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 41751b7 | Would you care to dance?" he blurted. "Now?" She smiled adorably. "Is there music?" There wasn't. It was some testament to how foolish in love he'd become that he did not even feel embarrassed." | music love embarrassed foolish | Julia Quinn | |
| ec6a8cf | Daphne turned to Simon with an amused expression. "I can't quite decide if she is being terribly polite or exquisitely rude." "Exquisitely polite, perhaps?" Simon asked mildly. She shook her head. "Oh, definitely not that." "The alternative, of course, is--" "Terribly rude?" Daphne grinned and watched as her mother looped her arm through Lord Railmont's, pointed him toward Daphne so that he could nod his good-bye, and led him from the r.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 71a1741 | There were rules among friends, commandments, really, and the most important one was Thou Shalt Not Lust After Thy Friend's Sister. | rules | Julia Quinn | |
| d0aab88 | But you have told me," Elizabeth protested, "time and again, that the hallmark of civilization is routine." Lady D shrugged and made a fussy little chirping sound. "A lady cannot take it upon herself to occasionally change her routine? All routines need periodic readjustment." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 3593fc1 | You don't know," Anthony said, his voice low and nearly shaking with rage. "You don't know what he has done." "No more than what you have done, I'm sure," Violet said slyly. "Precisely!" Anthony roared. "Good God, I know what is going on in his brain right now, and it has nothing to do with poetry and roses." Simon pictured laying Daphne down on a bed of rose petals. "Well, maybe roses," he murmured. "I'm going to kill him," Anthony a.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 2b22810 | Have you noticed how [Lady Whistledown] describes me?' 'Er, it's almost always favorable, isn't it?' His hand began to wave again - rather dismissively, in her opinion. 'Yes, yes, that's not the point,' he said in a distracted voice. 'You might think it more the point,' Penelope replied testily, 'if you'd ever been likened to an overripe citrus fruit.' He winced, and he opened and closed his mouth twice before finally saying, 'If it makes y.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 70ac290 | He didn't know what he felt. For the first time in his life, his thoughts were a jumble, tossing and turning and writing over each other like an endlessly edited story. | Julia Quinn | ||

| f01d9ab | People who would be that close to her, she thought, a matter of a few arms' lengths, looking, looking, and they would never know her. | Susan Vreeland | ||
| ce81967 | Amar es ponerse al cuello el nudo corredizo de la ilusion; adorar a alguien mientras pareces asfixiarte. Pero incluso el amor no correspondido, el amor fugaz, es mejor que nada. | novel | Susan Vreeland | |
| 43fa715 | Hope is sometimes fleeting, but always precious. Sad to say, when the battle began, most of my companions had no hope at all. | T.A. Barron | ||

| 15a68a5 | You know I don't read novels,' she said and, trying to equal his jesting mood, went on: 'Besides, you one said it was the height of bad form for husbands and wives to love each other.' 'I once said too God damn many things,' he retorted abruptly and rose to his feet. | Margaret Mitchell | ||
| 8263916 | She lay in the silvery shadows with courage rising and made the plans that a sixteen-year-old makes when life has been so pleasant that defeat is an impossibility and a pretty dress and a clear complexion are weapons to vanquish fate | Margaret Mitchell | ||

| f06c6f0 | I'm tired of everlastingly being unnatural and never doing anything I want to do. I'm tired of acting like I don't eat more than a bird, and walking when I want to run and saying I feel faint after a waltz, when I could dance for two days and never get tired. I'm tired of saying, 'How wonderful you are!' to fool men who haven't got one-half the sense I've got, and I'm tired of pretending I don't know anything, so men can tell me things and .. | Margaret Mitchell | ||

| 514e23b | Scarlett permitted the embrace - because in the dark smoke- fill the kitchen, there had been born a greater respect for her sister in law, a closer feeling of comradeship. | Margaret Mitchell | ||
| 9da4c19 | The faint of lemon verbena surrounded her, floating gently from Eleanor Butler's silk gown and silken hair. It was the fragrance that had always been part of Ellen O'Hara, the scent for Scarlett of comfort, of safety, of love, of life before the War | Alexandra Ripley |
