Adelaide Quote by Amanda Quick
““Once Smith had you, he would most likely have tried to negotiate for the lamp." Everything inside her warmed gently. "You'd give up the lamp if you thought my life depended on it?" "Without a second thought." "Oh, Griffin, I'm truly touched. I know how important the lamp is to you." "And then I'd slit the bastard's throat." She groaned and rested her forehead on her knees. "Two birds with one lamp. Who says a crime lord can't be a romantic at heart?””

![“I learned from Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Adelaide Hall, the Nicholas Brothers, the whole thing, the whole schmear. [The Cotton Club] was a great place because it hired us, for one thing, at a time when it was really rough [for Black performers].” quote by Lena Horne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e9f/lena-horne-15555_adelaide_i-learned-from-ethel-waters-duke-ellingt_478684.jpg)
