Book cover for The Fortnight in September
For their honeymoon they had taken apartments with Mr. and Mrs. Huggett in St. Matthews Road—called “Seaview,” because from the lavatory window you could see the top of a lamppost on the beachfront.

Isak Dinesen
“The plan which I had formed in the beginning, to give in in all minor matters, so as to keep what was of vital importance to me, had turned out to be a failure. I had consented to give away my possessions one by one, as a kind of ransom for my own life, but by the time that I had nothing left, I myself was the lightest thing of all, for fate to get rid of.”
Isak Dinesen, Out of Africa

Cindy Rollins
“I quote much scripture in this book. I do so intentionally, without references, because that is how I believe scripture should fit into the fabric of our lives. It is not tacked on; it is woven in.”
Cindy Rollins, Mere Motherhood: Morning Times, Nursery Rhymes, and My Journey toward Sanctification

Nancy Atherton
“…think of kindness as a ripple that spreads outward. If you wish to make the world a better place, send out as many ripples as you can.”
Nancy Atherton, Aunt Dimity and the Widow's Curse

Isak Dinesen
“The old lady continued, "We women, my child, are often very simple. But that any female would lack reason to such a degree that she would start reasoning with a man--that is beyond my comprehension! She has lost the battle, my dear child, she has lost the battle before it began! No, if a woman will have her way with a man she must look him square in the eye and say something of which it is impossible for him to make any sense whatsoever and to which he is at a loss to reply. He is defeated at once.”
Isak Dinesen, Daguerreotypes and Other Essays
