Beautiful family Quote by Robyn J Pritzker
““Unlike her sisters’, her eyes were green— not the tarnished olive of her father’s, either, but a bottle green, nearly emerald. Ismay forced herself not to stare too long, but in the warm light, the hue was startling. Her hair was more like Diarmid’s, unkempt and dark blond, a few shades lighter than Ismay’s own mousy brown. All the Underhills shared a golden, rosy complexion. Beautiful family as they were, they appeared entirely too wild for this morning’s domesticity, too suited to being out of doors. They all ought to be in the garden.””
