Quote by Julie Klassen

“She knew then that it was more important to be honest than to try to preserve the appearance of respectability. It was time to stop hiding, as Mrs. Denby had advised. And it was time to apologize to Mr. Hammond. To confess all and let the consequences come . . . even if that meant losing any hope of a future with him.”

Having tried it, I found I really liked this process of turning a ritualized question into a statement, and I still try to do this when I remember.”
