America Quote by Jean Marsh

“I have been approached by strangers. I was sitting on a beach in America and a young chap came up and said, 'Hello.' We had a bit of a chat, then he asked, 'Shall we have dinner?' I declined. I'm not likely to pursue someone who comes up to me out of the blue.” quote by Jean Marsh
