“I never use the word 'sex' in my novels - that is not what romance is about. It's about love and emotion. All my stories were different but they all had a happy ending - the perfect finish to any romance.”

“Stepping down from the swing,
Languidly she smooths her soft slender hands,
Her flimsy dress wet with light perspiration
A slim flower trembling with heavy dew.
Spying a stranger, she walks hastily away in shyness:
Her feet in bare socks,
Her gold hairpin fallen.
Then she stops to lean against a gate,
And looking back,
Makes as if sniffing a green plum”

“Last night there was intermittent rain, a gusty wind.
Deep sleep did not relieve me of
The last effects of wine.
I ask the maid rolling up the blinds,
But she replies: "The crab-apple is lovely as before."
"Don't you know?"
"Oh, don't you know?"
"The green should be plump and the red lean?”

“Her cheeks burned afresh at the memory of that final night before
her departure from Sibu. She had gone to his berth out in the
saloon and pleaded with him to let her stay—sinking every last
vestige of pride in her desperation to be with him. Only he hadn't
cared. He'd told her roughly to get back to her cabin and stop
making a fool of herself. Next time he needed a woman, he had
said, he would make sure it was one and not some silly little girl
with romantic notions.”
