“Well now," the scholar went on, "I'm just an old fuddy-duddy who could use a tan, so you needn't grant my opinion any authority, but I consider the queendom lucky that a handful of Milliners and their children lived incognito among the population during Redd's tyranny.”
― Frank Beddor, Seeing Redd

“Oh! do look at Miss Oriel's bonnet the next time you see her. I cannot understand why it should be so, but I am sure of this—no English fingers could put together such a bonnet as that; and I am nearly sure that no French fingers could do it in England.”

“A hat is the expression of a woman’s soul. It is something she wears on her head, but it belongs to her heart. It is her challenge to the world. She does not wear it to keep warm, or to provide a shade from the sun, though it may do those things too. She wears it to please a husband or a sweetheart, or to get one. She wears it to make other women jealous, sometimes, and sometimes she wears it to get a job. It is the keynote of her personality, the finishing touch that makes her look beautiful, and smart, and sure of herself, if it is the right hat.”
― Lilly Daché, Talking Through My Hats
