Book cover for A Very English Scandal: Sex, Lies, and a Murder Plot at the Heart of the Establishment
Known as ‘Boofy’ to his friends, the Earl had seldom spoken in the House of Lords. The few speeches he had made had been devoted exclusively to protecting the rights of badgers.

Beryl Markham
“You could expect many things of God at night when the campfire burned before the tents. You could look through and beyond the veils of scarlet and see shadows of the world as God first made it and hear the voices of the beasts He put there. It was a world as old as Time, but as new as Creation's hour had left it.

In a sense it was formless. When the low stars shone over it and the moon clothed it in silver fog, it was the way the firmament must have been when the waters had gone and the night of the Fifth Day had fallen on creatures still bewildered by the wonder of their being. It was an empty world because no man had yet joined sticks to make a house or scratched the earth to make a road or embedded the transient symbols of his artifice in the clean horizon. But it was not a sterile world. It held the genesis of life and lay deep and anticipant under the sky.”
Beryl Markham, West with the Night

Dorothy L. Sayers
Peter! Were you looking for a horse-shoe?"

"No; I was expecting the horse, but the shoe is a piece of pure, gorgeous luck."

"And observation. I found it."

"You did. And I could kiss you for it. You need not shrink and tremble. I am not going to do it. When I kiss you, it will be an important event -- one of those things which stand out among their surroundings like the first time you tasted li-chee. It will not be an unimportant sideshow attached to a detective investigation.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Have His Carcase

Dorothy L. Sayers
“Do you know how to pick a lock?'
'Not in the least, I'm afraid.'
'I often wonder what we go to school for,' said Wimsey.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Strong Poison

Nancy Mitford
“Life is sometimes sad and often dull, but there are currants in the cake, and here is one of them.”
Nancy Mitford, The Pursuit of Love

Alexandre Dumas
“All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
