Good people Quote by Joanna Davidson Politano
““Lady Pochard: I do believe you could find the good in a reptile Mr. Rotherford. What do you have to say about me then? Silis Rotherham: You have a highly acute perception stemming from a combination of the sharp wit you were born with and trials that would shock your family. Lady Poch: A wise answer. You might even be smarter than the man that had the good sense to choose me as a wife. Silis Rotherham: I am merely intentional about recognizing the good in people – a little something to combat all the critics in the world. Lady Pochard: I’m not sure whether to call that foolish or brilliant! Silis Rotherham: I settle for obedient. It was God’s idea, not mine””
