"I’m excited to add this to my personal study this year. I finished studying the Old Testament and now studying the New Testament. I started it years ago but with several children at home I didn’t finish. I just bought the journal edition so I can mark it up and write my thoughts in it. I love my Savior!!!" — Apr 16, 2023 07:45PM

Or was it simply that each person entered the relationship with a determination and commitment to do everything in their power to make that relationship work?

“A surge of emotion constricted Nell's throat. Perhaps she'd been wrong to kiss him. Perhaps she was using him shamelessly.
But no.
That would imply that anyone would have done. Any man. Any friend. Anyone who might help to keep the storm of emotion at bay. But it hadn't been just anyone she'd wanted as she'd departed Lady Belwood's house this afternoon. It had been Miles.”

“Effie's brow lifted. Miss Corvus never received any of the girls in her private rooms. Not even the teachers. At least, she hadn't during Effie's tenure. Miss Corvus's rooms had always been sealed off, as impenetrable as a tomb, behind an impassable set of tall, iron-banded wooden doors. Not even the canniest members of the Academy had dared attempt entry.”

“Be loud,' he told her. 'Be opinionated. Be as much yourself as you wish -- and then some. Once we're wed, you and I will answer to no one but each other.”

“During their months apart, he’d begun to wonder if he’d imagined how beautiful she was–how very perfect she was for his painting. But he hadn’t imagined anything, had he? Indeed, it was possible that his memory had blunted the effect of her.”

“For all Miss Corvus's progressive views, for all her insistence on looking to the future, this was a chamber firmly enshrouded in the past. A veiled room, all stale darkness and decay.
Miss Corvus had been similarly veiled the first time Effie had seen her that fateful day eighteen years ago in the London slum of St. Giles.
But Miss Corvus wasn't veiled now.
She sat in a green damask-upholstered armchair by the window, her uncovered face as white as wax. She was clad in stark black, just as Effie was-a plain, but impeccably tailored, silk dress worn over an abundance of petticoats and a formidable wire crinoline. A jet brooch gleamed at her throat, and an embroidered lace handkerchief was clutched in her pale hand.”
