“The fact that he'd become withdrawn and insular was no surprise to Percy. He'd few examples of affection to call upon. Aunt Alexia and Lord Maccon being the singular exception. Their marriage, to his outside eye, had always been combative but never lacking warmth. Percy could admit to himself, if not to Arsenic, that he was attracted by their model of a profound and loving relationship, if perhaps hoping for a little less rushing about and banging of heads together.”
― Gail Carriger, Reticence

“Better foolish and honest than clever and false.”
― Paula Brackston, The Witch's Daughter

“Her heart did whisper that he had done it for her.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
