Danger Quote by Ethel Lina White

“The day before the disaster, Iris Carr had her first premonition of danger. She was used to the protection of a crowd, whom—with unconscious flattery—she called 'her friends'. An attractive orphan of independent means, she had been surrounded always with clumps of people.” quote by Ethel Lina White
