“Lovely house,” Jack said, as he was led—hands still bound—through the grand entrance of
Belgrave. He turned to the old lady. “Did you decorate? It has that woman‟s touch.”

― Julia Quinn, The Lost Duke of Wyndham

“Pity about these bindings,” he continued. “We do seem to be caught in a romantic moment,
your employer‟s acidic presence aside, and it would be far easier to drop one exquisite kiss on
the back of your hand were I able to lift it with one of mine.”
― Julia Quinn, The Lost Duke of Wyndham
