Christopher Quote by Lisa Kleypas

““As I sit here writing to you, I have propped my stocking feet much too close to the hearth.

There, now you could pick me out of a crowd blindfolded. Simply follow the scent of scorched stockings.””

“Risking a glance at the dignified young man beside her- what was his name?- Mr. Arthurson, Arterton?- Pandora decided to try her hand at some small talk. "It was very fine weather today, wasn't it?" she said. He set down his flatware and dabbed at both corners of his mouth with his napkin before replying. "Yes, quite fine." Encouraged, Pandora…
