Decent people Quote by Julia Quinn
““They just don't know you,' Penelope said, patting her on the hand. 'And they don't know *you*, either,' Lady Danbury quite pointedly replied ... 'I'd say it was their loss ... Not [a loss] to them, but to you, because as often as I call them fools ... some of them are actually rather decent people, and it's a crime they haven't gotten to know you.””
