Aunt Quote by Lisa Kleypas
““Evie's hair had been piled at the crown of her head in a mass of gleaming red curls and fastened with pearl-tipped pins. The scattering of amber freckles across her nose only increased her appeal, as if nature had given in to a moment of whimsy and sprinkled a few flecks of extra sunlight over her. Evie leaned into her partial hug as if she was seeking comfort. "Aunt F-Florence says I look like a f-flaming torch with my hair pinned up like this," she said. Daisy scowled at the comment. "Your aunt Florence should hardly make such statements when she looks like a hobgoblin." "Daisy, hush," Lillian said sternly.””
