“The danger, of course, existed in her curiosity, her intelligence, and her stubbornly observant eyes. She had to go away before she found out too much. No one wished her, personally, any harm; she was small and pretty and no one would want to hurt her, but if she became a danger she must suffer.”
― Dorothy Eden, Lamb to the Slaughter

“Safe…It was true that the chilly grey summer day, the hissing of steam, the shouting and bustle of a busy London railway terminal, and the constantly belching smoke, did constitute a menacing atmosphere to such new arrivals from another world.”
― Dorothy Eden, Darkwater
