Quotes by Abby Ayles (?)

“No, no, don’t say that. You’re young still, Alexei. You’re only twenty-three summers. This . . . is the perfect time for you to enjoy your youth. And although we always gave you a scolding for choosing to roam the world, you must know that we were always so proud of you, and happy that you were living your life the way you wished.”

“She couldn’t blame the earl for being mad, she couldn’t even fault him for firing her. She had done wrong. She had been deceitful.”
