“Later on Lady Maccon was to describe that particular day as the worst of her life. She had neither the soul nor the romanticism to consider childbirth magical or emotionally transporting. So far as she could gather it mostly involved pain indignity and mess. There was nothing engaging or appealing about the process. And as she told her husband firmly she intended never to go through it again.”
― Gail Carriger, Heartless

“Scotsmen, she had occasion to observe, often did have nice knees. Perhaps that was why they insisted upon kilts.”
― Gail Carriger, Timeless

“Lord Maccon was built like a brick outhouse, with opinions twice as unmoving and often equally full of crap.”
― Gail Carriger, Blameless

“How ghastly for her, people actually thinking, with their brains, and right next door. Oh, the travesty of it all.”
― Gail Carriger, Soulless
