Quote by Lisa Kleypas

“Has he taken your virtue?" he barked. Aline looked directly into the obsidian surface of his eyes. "No." She saw that he didn't believe her. The bruising grip on her face tightened. "And if I summon a physician to examine you, he will confirm that?" Aline did not blink, only stared back at him, silently daring him. "Yes." The words came out like a hiss. "But had it been left to me, my virginity would be long gone. I offered it freely to McKenna- I only wish that he had accepted it.”

“Do you know much about airplanes?" he asked. I'm afraid I gave him a sour look, despite my efforts to seem like an innocent female. I suspected he knew quite well what I knew about airplanes and was trying to trap me. "I was an army observer at Tibbals Hill." "Ah, the station out at Fort Worden. What was that like?" "You can go see it for yourself. It's still there." "Can you tell me what you saw? Aircraft, ships...?" "No." It gave me satisfaction to say that, and to say it firmly. I was on certain ground now. "I'm sure, Mr., uh, Harrison---I'm quite sure you know I can't tell you that. I signed a secrecy agreement with the army." Woods cleared his throat again. I wondered which man was really the superior.”

“If you do not allow me to come, I shall write to my father." I gave a sharp breath of laughter. "You think he will sympathize with your desire to go charging into Faerie? I will rise in his esteem for refusing you--- though admittedly this is because his expectations of me are at ground level." "You don't understand," she said. "I shall write to him to say that you have given me little in the way of supervision, and allow me to wander the mountains at all hours, despite the danger. And then, after I have sent the letter off, I shall follow you into the nexus. And what will happen, do you think, if I do not catch up to you?" We gazed at each other in silence for a long moment. Ariadne looked pale, and several times she had the appearance of biting back an apology, but she did not apologize. Nor did she drop my gaze. "You wretched brat," I finally said. "I will tie you to your bed.”
