“Oh, calm yourself, Lord Farnsworth.” Did she really just say that? To a baron? “I didn’t say you were unattractive, just that you were..” She struggled to find a better way to word what she had said. But there wasn’t one. “…not handsome.”
― Esther Hatch, Manor for Sale, Baron Included

Esther’s Quotes

“But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch

“These joys were so trifling as to be as imperceptible as grains of gold among the sand, and in moments of depression she saw nothing but the sand; yet there were brighter moments when she felt nothing but joy, saw nothing but the gold.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
