Quotes by Nicole Clarkston (?)

“We are each of us flawed, Miss Elizabeth. It is how we prune our flaws as well as cultivate our strengths, which determines our character.”

“It was not so bad walking slightly behind her, and he happily satisfied himself with looking on her form as she walked. She was no conventional Grecian beauty, but those curves… no man would regret her figure once he knew more of it.”
― Nicole Clarkston, London Holiday

“but there must be some manner in which we can… perhaps something can be arranged. You would not need to wed that fool.” Darcy dropped his hands from his face. Had he truly said that? By heaven, she must have thought him to be asking something utterly the reverse of his true intentions!”
― Nicole Clarkston, London Holiday
