Historical-romance Quote by Lisa Kleypas
““He stared down into her smiling face, his expression softening. Before Caroline could react, he reached out and plucked her spectacles from her nose. "My lord," she said unsettled, "I wish you would stop doing that! Hand those back at once. I can't see." Andrew extracted a folded handkerchief from his pocket and polished the lenses. "It's no wonder your eyes are weak, the way you go about with your spectacles smudged.””
