Quotes by Maggie Brendan (?)

“Is that a fact, Miss Georgia Cracker? Maybe a gentleman does, but not a cowboy. The only time a real cowboy removes his hat is for a funeral, a wedding, or church. A cowboy likes to keep his hat close by in case he needs to get out in a real hurry. That thing you call a hat on your head is big enough for two barnyard owls to roost in.”
― Maggie Brendan, No Place for a Lady

“Jedediah pulled out his pocketknife, reached over her, and snipped the rose to place in her hair. “Looks better there.” In the moonlight, he wasn’t sure if she blushed or not. Her eyes seemed all soft and glowing, her lips the color of the pink rose, slightly parted and tempting him. Before he knew what he was doing, his arms had circled her in a swift embrace. Heat filled his face, and his heart pounded so hard he was sure Patience could hear it. Would she let him kiss her? But she was already pulling away, visibly shaken. Her fingers touched her hair, patting it into place, and her eyes, large with surprise, looked into his, then quickly away. “I . . . Jed . . . I think we’d better go back inside and join the party.” “I’m—I’m truly sorry, Patience. I don’t know . . . I’m not sure what came over me just now. It must be the moonlight and the roses.” And you, he said only to himself.”
― Maggie Brendan, The Trouble with Patience
