| d174c77 | Good choice dancing with this one...I've always liked her. More brains than the rest of her family put together. ~ Lady Danbury to Colin Bridgerton | Julia Quinn | ||
| 2d3ba45 | You know all of the young gentlemen better than I do," Lady Manston continued. "Are there any we should avoid?" All of them, George wanted to say. ''What about Ashbourne's son?'' "No." "No?" his mother echoed. "No, as in you don't have an opinion?" "No, as in no. He is not for Billie." Who, George could not help but note, was watching the mother-son exchange with an odd mix of curiosity and alarm. "Any particular reason?" Lady Mansto.. | jealousy lies love marriage men | Julia Quinn | |
| edbf5fe | Something important is always about to happen, my dear girl," Lady Danbury said. "And if not, you'd do well to act as if it were. You'll enjoy life better that way." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 483bc9b | On the way over, however, it slid off the shovel and onto Henry's shoes. Pity, that. She whirled around. He waited for her to burst out with, "You did that on purpose!" but she kept silent, motionless except for a slight narrowing of her eyes. Then, with a flick of her ankle, the slop spattered onto his trousers. She smirked, waiting for him to say, "You did that on purpose!" but he also remained silent. Then he smiled at her, and she knew .. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 2f27a65 | I never thought I would be left behind." He chuckled. "Eloise Bridgerton, I don't think anyone wouldever make the mistake of leaving you behind." -- | Julia Quinn | ||
| 1ab3042 | Phillip muttered something under his breath. "What did you say?" she asked. "Nothing." "You said something." He gave her an impatient look. "If I'd meant for you to hear it, I would have said it out loud." She sucked in her breath. "Then you shouldn't have said it at all." "Some things," Phillip muttered, "are impossible to keep inside." "What did yousay?" she demanded. Phillip raked his hand through his hair. "Eloise--" "Did you insult me?.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| d06eae6 | If this morning wasn't enjoyable, at least it was...shall we say...interesting, and my clothing was worth the sacrifice if it means we've reached a truce of sorts. I have no wish to be awakened before dawn next week only to be informed I have to single-handedly slaughter a cow." Her eyes widened. How did he know?" | Julia Quinn | ||
| a577269 | They marched back to the kitchen in silence, the only sound being Rufus's growl when Dunford tried to pet him. "Can a rabbit growl?" he asked, unable to believe his ears. "Obviously he can." | Julia Quinn | ||
| b2627c6 | and he stopped going to church entirely, because there seemed no point now in even contemplating prayer for his soul. Besides, the parish church near Kilmartin dated to 1432, and the crumbling stones certainly couldn"t takea direct strike of lightning. And if God ever wanted to smite a sinner, he couldn"t do better than Michael Stirling. Michael Stirling, Sinner. He could see it on a calling card. He"d have had it printed up, even--his was .. | Julia Quinn | ||
| d58c7fe | At present, however, with his aching head and queasy stomach, Sebastian was feeling exceedingly resistible. Or if not that, then resistant. Aphrodite herself could descend from the ceiling, floating on a bloody clamshell, naked but for a few well-placed flowers, and he'd likely puke at her feet. No, no, she ought to be completely naked. If he was going to prove the existence of a goddess, right here in this room, she was damned well going t.. | hilarious naked | Julia Quinn | |
| 1121464 | You're a bundle of questions this afternoon, aren't you?" "I wouldn't have to be," she retorted, clearly regaining her wits, "if you'd actually say something of substance." "Until next time, Miss Bridgerton," he murmured, slipping out into the hall. "But when?" came her exasperated voice. He laughed all the way out." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 4a5bddc | Have you anything that is ready to wear today? I'd like nothing better than to be rid of that thing she has on now. You can use her measurements to fashion a few more." "I have one or two I could quickly alter to her size. In fact there is one right there." She pointed to a pale yellow day dress draped over a dressmaker's model. Dunford was just about to say that it would do when he saw Henry's face. She was staring at the dress like a star.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| c6212d7 | All--all right," she said, looking dubiously at the chair. "I--um, I need to change, though." "I'll just wait in the hall." He straightened his spine and walked from the room, deciding he was the noblest, most chivalrous, and possibly the most stupid man in all Britain." | Julia Quinn | ||
| e25f441 | No," he said hoarsely, "the chair will do just fine, thank you." "If I know you are uncomfortable, I shan't be able to sleep." She sounded remarkably like a damsel in distress. Dunford shuddered. He had never been able to resist playing hero. Slowly he got to his feet and walked to the empty side of the bed. How bad could it be?" | hero humor | Julia Quinn | |
| 1170472 | Oh, come now, you two," Lady Manston said, "surely it can be no surprise that I have long hoped for an alliance between the Rokesbys and Bridgertons." "Alliance?" Billie echoed, and all George could think was that it was a terrible, clinical word, one that could never encompass all that he had come to feel for her." | family feelings love marriage word | Julia Quinn | |
| d23f31e | But just for the sake of argument, let's say I am cornered. Or perhaps I am in the middle of a crowded ballroom and do not want to make a scene. If you were flirting with a young lady who had just told you not to call her sweetheart, what would you do?" "I would accede to her wishes and bid her good night," he said starchily. "You would not!" Henry accused with a playful smile. "You're a terrible rake, Dunford. Belle told me." "Belle talks .. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 1b6d156 | Do you really think anyone saves our programs from one year to the next?" Sarah asked. "My mother does," Daisy said. "So does mine," Sarah answered, "but it's not as if she pulls them out and compares them side by side." "My mother does," Daisy said again. "Dear God," Iris moaned." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 454d9df | It has no piano part," Honoria reminded her. "I have no objection," Sarah said quickly. From behind the piano." | Julia Quinn | ||
| ad553c6 | Something without the cello," she muttered. "If I have to do it, you have to do it," Sarah said with a smirk. Iris glared at her with all the fury of a misunderstood artist. "You don't understand." "Oh, believe me, I do," Sarah said with great feeling. "I played last year, if you recall. I've had an entire year to understand." | Julia Quinn | ||
| c6a3f66 | Why is everyone complaining?" Daisy asked impatiently. "This is exciting! We get to perform. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?" "Unfortunately, yes," Sarah said flatly. "About as long as I have been dreading it," Iris muttered." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 6f2161c | She shrugged. "I'm surprised your mother didn't inform you of my presence. Or Belle. She has spoken about you a great deal." His eyes narrowed as his heart sank. "You've become friendly with Belle?" He saw all his hopes for a flirtation with this girl going up in smoke." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 2f70c3a | Honoria couldn't help but watch her make her way over to Daisy, and Mr. Bridgerton said, "Don't worry, she's mostly harmless." "My cousin Daisy?" she asked dubiously. "No," he replied, momentarily nonplussed. "Lady Danbury." Honoria looked past him to Daisy and Lady Danbury. "Is she deaf?" "Your cousin Daisy?" "No, Lady Danbury." "I don't believe so." "Oh." Honoria winced. "That's too bad. She might be by the time Daisy is through with her... | Julia Quinn | ||

| c557bc3 | Five years with the dowager - Good God, she ought to be given a title in her own right as a penance for such as that. No one had done more for England. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 4a1f1b1 | It's still horrible. The whole thing." "Dreadful," Grace agreed. Amelia turned and looked at her directly. "Sodding bad." Grace gasped, "Amelia!" Amelia's face wrinkled in thought. "Did I use that correctly?" "I wouldn't know." "Oh, come now, don't tell me you haven't thought something just as unladylike." "I wouldn't say it." The look Amelia gave her was clear as a dare. "But you thought it." Grace felt her lips twitch. "It's a dammed sham.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 3eb7b1a | Tea?" Daniel asked, signaling to the innkeeper. "Please. Or anything that is hot." She pulled off her gloves, pausing to frown at a little hole that was growing at the tip of her right forefinger. That wouldn't do. She needed all the dignity she could muster in that finger. Heaven knew she shook it at the girls often enough." | anne daniel julia-quinn | Julia Quinn | |
| 828ed62 | Ella parecio indecisa, de modo que le tironeo la mano, acercandola mas, no mas de una pulgada, pero en cierto modo tuvo la impresion de que ella estaba a solo la distancia de un beso. | Julia Quinn | ||
| ede3847 | Somebody up there is deuced mad at me," she yelled, "and I want to know why!" The heavens opened in earnest and within seconds she was soaked to the skin. "Remind me never to question Your purposes again," she muttered ungraciously, not sounding particularly like the God-fearing young lady her father had raised her to be. "Clearly You don't like to be second-guessed." Lightning streaked through the sky, followed by a booming clap of thunder.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 7a5c02b | I hope you will save me a dance.' 'Of course,' she said ... The other two ladies stood there, utterly still, eyes large and unblinking. It brought to mind a pair of ostriches, actually, and then Marcus realized what was expected of him. 'I hope you will all three save dances for me,' he said politely. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 9809bae | He closed his eyes. The insides of his eyelids were a brownish black, not at all the same as the thick purple of the night. Darkness had so many colors. It was strange, that, and perhaps a little disquieting. But-- --Oh!|| A foot slammed into his left calf, and he opened his eyes just in time to see a woman tumbling backward. Right onto his blanket. He smiled. The gods still loved him. | hilarious | Julia Quinn | |
| 67143ce | You'll marry the earl and carry on with the nephew on the side." "Grandmother!" | bevelstoke julia-quinn sebastian-grey ten-things-i-love-about-you | Julia Quinn | |
| ffc1bf9 | Ellie had a feeling he thought she was exaggerating. Charles teased. Ellie burst out. | Julia Quinn | ||
| afd4f0e | I miss my dog." ... "What was his name again?" "Mouse." "That was very unkind of you." "Naming him mouse?" "Isn't he a greyhound?" "I could have named hum Turtle." "Frederick!"... "It's better than Frederic," Annabel said, "Good heavens, that's my brother's name." | Julia Quinn | ||
| 5fbf56e | It was just a book. An inanimate object. The only power it held was what she chose to give it. It could only be important in her life if she made it such. Of course, that didn't explain why she half expected it to glow in the dark every time she peered into her satchel. | Julia Quinn | ||
| a98bc37 | Kate-nek voltak bizonyos alapelvei, es ezek koze tartozott az is, hogy csukott ajtoval ne vitatkozzon. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 937a5f8 | The slanted light of dawn was rippling through the windowpane, and Miss Anne Sainsbury was huddled beneath her thin blanket, wondering, as she often did, where she would find money for her next meal." That was really good. Even he wanted to know what happened to Miss Sainsbury, and he was making it up." | Julia Quinn | ||
| b8b1078 | I should love to see a ground-glass blue ocean | Julia Quinn | ||
| 463ff7b | I really must tell you, I have never been a thespian.' Harriet waved this off like a gnat. 'That is what is so wonderful about my plays. Anyone can enjoy himself.' ... 'I am *not* playing a frog.' His eyes narrowed wickedly. 'Unless you [Anne] do, too.' 'There is only one frog in the play,' Harriet said blithely. 'But isn't the title The Marsh of the Frogs?' he asked, even though he should have known better. 'Plural?' Good Lord, the entire .. | Julia Quinn | ||

| f373036 | The dark-haired stranger's head snapped around. "Daphne? Did he say Daphne?" She drew back, unnerved by his direct question and the rather intense look in his eyes. "Yes." "Your name is Daphne?" Now she was beginning to wonder if he was an idiot. "Yes." He groaned. "Not Daphne Bridgerton." Her face slid into a puzzled frown. "The very one." Simon staggered back a step. He suddenly felt physically ill, as his brain finally processed th.. | Julia Quinn | ||
