Peace Quote by Gail Carriger

“Is there no peace for the naked?" Sister Mattie wore a bed cap of sensible white lace. "I think you mean peace for the wicked," corrected Lady Linette... "Why would that apply?" asked Sister Mattie, before closing her door on both the problem and the noise.” quote by Gail Carriger
