"Where are we now?" Anne asked frantically.

Despite herself, Anne looked up. "But you play the violin."

"I know," Harriet said miserably.

“

He walked over to one of the refreshment tables and picked up a pitcher of lemonade. There didn’t seem to be any glasses set out yet, which did make him wonder if Lady Winstead meant meant for him to pour the lemonade down the girl’s throats.

He smiled. It was an entertaining image.

“Colin decided then and there that the female mind was a strange and incomprehensible organ - one which no man should even attempt to understand. There wasn’t a woman alive who could go from point A to B without stopping at C, D, X, and 12 along the way.”

"Edict Number Twenty (The Only One You Truly Need Remember) Above all else, be true to your heart...."

“

Edict Number Twenty (The Only One You Truly Need Remember)

Above all else, be true to your heart. When you marry, whether it be a marquis or an estate manager (or both!), it will be for life. You must go where your heart leads and never forget that love is the most precious gift of all. Money and social status are poor substitutes for a warm, tender embrace, and there is little in life more fulfilling than the joy of loving and knowledge that you are loved in return.

““She smiled as the warmth of his words slid through her like a kiss. “I was just thinking that this is just like heaven.”
He was silent for a moment, and then, so softly she wasn’t sure she heard him correctly, he whispered, “Heaven couldn’t possibly compare.””
