Quote by Lisa Kleypas

“It was exciting and slightly embarrassing to feel the floor with her naked toes as he swept her into one luxurious full turn after another. Of course, the sensation of dancing with bare feet wasn't entirely new: She'd waltzed alone in her bedroom more than once, imagining herself in the arms of some unknown suitor. But it felt very different when her partner was a flesh-and-blood man. She relaxed and abandoned herself, following his guidance without effort or thought. Although they'd started slowly, Mr. Severin had quickened their tempo to match the music. The waltz was flowing and swift, each turn making her skirts whirl in eddies of silk and glitter. It was like flying. Her stomach turned light, as if she were on a garden swing, soaring a little too high and coming down in a giddy arc. She hadn't felt so free since she'd been a young girl, running recklessly across the Hampshire Downs with her twin. The world was nothing but moonlight and music as the two of them swept through the empty conservatory with the ease of mist carried on a sea breeze.”

“The music started, and we began to dance. It was like magic. A ghost can't lead, of course; he can't tell you where to go, with just a bit of pressure on your hand or your back. But I knew, anyway. I knew exactly where to turn, where to move. It was as if he was telling me with his eyes, which were locked on mine. And it was as if I was seeing another time through his eyes, because even though I was still in the Quackadoodle, at the same time I was back in Charleston, a hundred and twenty five years before.”

“We’ve got to go to the police,” Alec repeated. He wondered if somebody was actually dead or if the vicar had imagined it. But then there was the bloody cassock. “Come with me,” Father Joe pleaded. “It’s just down the road in my vestry. And then we can decide what we should do about the police.” Alec thought he might as well. There might be a story in it if it was something to do with Charlotte de Tournet. Would people remember her disappearance? It was so long ago. But then there was the connection to Baroness Freya Saumures …”

“कभी कभी मेरे दिल मैं ख्याल आता हैं कि ज़िंदगी तेरी जुल्फों कि नर्म छांव मैं गुजरने पाती तो शादाब हो भी सकती थी। यह रंज-ओ-ग़म कि सियाही जो दिल पे छाई हैं तेरी नज़र कि शुआओं मैं खो भी सकती थी। मगर यह हो न सका और अब ये आलम हैं कि तू नहीं, तेरा ग़म तेरी जुस्तजू भी नहीं। गुज़र रही हैं कुछ इस तरह ज़िंदगी जैसे, इससे किसी के सहारे कि आरझु भी नहीं. न कोई राह, न मंजिल, न रौशनी का सुराग भटक रहीं है अंधेरों मैं ज़िंदगी मेरी. इन्ही अंधेरों मैं रह जाऊँगा कभी खो कर मैं जानता हूँ मेरी हम-नफस, मगर यूंही कभी कभी मेरे दिल मैं ख्याल आता है”

“चलो इक बार फिर से अजनबी बन जाएँ हम दोनों। न मैं तुम से कोई उम्मीद रखूँ दिल-नवाज़ी की। न तुम मेरी तरफ़ देखो ग़लत-अंदाज़ नज़रों से। न मेरे दिल की धड़कन लड़खड़ाए मेरी बातों से। न ज़ाहिर हो तुम्हारी कश्मकश का राज़ नज़रों से। तुम्हें भी कोई उलझन रोकती है पेश-क़दमी से। मुझे भी लोग कहते हैं कि ये जल्वे पराए हैं। मिरे हमराह भी रुस्वाइयाँ हैं मेरे माज़ी की। तुम्हारे साथ भी गुज़री हुई रातों के साए हैं। तआ'रुफ़ रोग हो जाए तो उस का भूलना बेहतर। तअ'ल्लुक़ बोझ बन जाए तो उस को तोड़ना अच्छा। वो अफ़्साना जिसे अंजाम तक लाना न हो मुमकिन उसे इक ख़ूबसूरत मोड़ दे कर छोड़ना अच्छा। चलो इक बार फिर से अजनबी बन जाएँ हम दोनों।”
