Gaze Quote by Gail Carriger
““a rescuer appeared out of the forest. “You screamed, madam?” “Why, Lord Mersey, what are you doing here?” “Following you, of course. Spot of bother?” “Little bit of one, yes.” The young man looked with interest at Sophronia’s opponents, one holding a collapsed Dimity, one bleeding from a gash to the arm, and the third bleeding from a wound to the back. “My dear Ria, you hardly need my help.” “Hardly.””
