Status Updates From The Spring Duchess (A Duche...

Mary Sarah is such a doll baby and my new favorite narrator. I could listen to her for hours…and I shall! 😈

"Be that as it may,” he ground out, “I am the duke, and as such my word is law. You will obey me. Is that understood?”
“The only thing I understand,” Eleanor sneered, “is that I never should have married you. Go to hell, Derek! Maybe you’ll find an obedient wife there.”

↪ in the words of nandor the relentless: this fucking guy 🤦🏻‍♀️

"I thought I made it very clear in the foyer that I wished for you to join me for dinner.”
“I wasn’t hungry.”
“Regardless of whether you were hungry or not, when I give you a command I expect it to be followed,” he said imperiously.
“A command?” Her eyebrows shot up. “You do not command me. I am your wife, not a dog.”

↪ the way he walked in on her naked and then stammered out onky to walk back in again is ADORABLE!

“Where is your hat? Your gloves? Your cloak? And what the devil were you doing outside to begin with? It’s bloody well pouring.”
“Is it?” Eleanor said with a feigned gasp. “My goodness, I hadn’t noticed. That must be why I’m all wet.”
“I see time hasn’t dulled your sarcastic wit.”
“Nor has it cured you of your arrogance,” she retorted."

↪ their👏 banter👏 is👏 so👏 on👏 point

"You’ve ruined both of our lives, you stupid girl. And you don’t even have the good sense to realize it."
Marching right up to her dark-eyed antagonist, she fearlessly jabbed a finger at the middle of his rock hard chest and snapped. “Better a stupid girl than an arrogant bounder whose head is so inflated it’s a wonder it remains attached to your neck!'

↪ now this kind of a first meeting is smth else 😂

“But I do wish you would try, Ellie,” said Lady Ward, gazing up at her daughter beseechingly. “I realize coordination is not your strong suit, but surely you can manage a simple waltz without doing yourself bodily harm.”

↪ as someone who does bodily harm to both myself and my partner when i try fancy dancing... no, lady ward, it is impossible to manage a simple waltz 😅
