Dark hair Quote by Pamela Clare
““Miss Chauvenet." Morgan willed himself to speak his tongue near to tied. He was unable to take his gaze from her. She looked as fresh as springtime, her dark hair hanging in a braid beyond her hips, her eyes wide with surprise. Then her gaze moved over him, and he knew a moment of utter mortification. She's thinkin' you look like a peacock, laddie. With lace cuffs, silk stockings and drawers, and shoes with shiny brass buckles, he did look like a bloody peacock or, worse, like somoene that whoreson Wentworth would invite to his supper table. -Morgan””
