Calmly Quote by Nicola Cornick
““Congratulations?" Martin's expression was like boiling milk. "Congratulations? I will not permit my sister to marry such a rogue." "Martin, darling." Juliana said, putting a gentle hand on her husband's arm, "I completely understand your misgivings but I do think we should consider the matter calmly." "Calmly!" Martin spun around. "I am not calm!" "I think we all realize that, dearest," Juliana said.””
