Dreams Quote by Lisa Kleypas
““They were all young women with hopes and dreams and fears… each of them entirely familiar with the sight of a gentleman’s polished black shoes walking by their row of chairs in search of more promising quarry. The wallflowers had nothing to lose by helping each other, and everything to gain.””
