Quote by Harper St. George

“Christian was not talking at all. He was reading aloud. "I explained to her that I had no parents. She inquired how long they had been dead; then how old I was, what was my name, whether I could read, write, and sew a little; then she touched my cheek gently with her forefinger, and saying 'She hoped I should be a good child,' dismissed me along with Miss Miller." He was reading Jane Eyre to her!”

“A growth of beard darkened the lower half of his face. His valet would not be pleased if he saw him, but Violet was beyond pleased at the sight. She had never seen a man thus. They were either clean-shaven, or had fully developed beards. There must be some in-between phase, but she had never seen it. In the evenings on their trip, he would sometimes have a light growth that he must have shaved off by himself, because he appeared clean-shaven in the mornings. But this was probably a couple of days' worth. Her fingertips itched to rake over it and feel if it would scrape her skin or be soft to the touch. It made him appear rugged in a way that she found extremely appealing, as if the proper English gentleman had been undone to give way to this man who was far more carnal and raw.”

“Je suis lâche, c'est pour ça que j'ai besoin de couper les ponts avec tous ceux qui me sont proches, de partir en un lieu totalement inconnu pour revenir ensuite. J'ai l'impression que la vie est toujours neuve comme ça, qu'il reste quelque chose à découvrir. Ca glisse, ça glisse, j'ai l'impression que ça va répondre à toutes les questions. Je me sens tellement vrai quand je m'en vais, j'ai toujours l'impression d'avoir perdu quelque chose quand je reviens. (p224)”
