Gaze Quote by Sabrina Jeffries
““You are too kind, my lady. Indeed, you are the most amiable Englishwoman I have ever met." She laughed. The viscount was rapidly rising on her list. "Some people don't find me amiable." Like a certain unfeeling Bow Street Runner. He struck a hand to his chest. "I cannot believe that! You are such an alma brilhante ...a bright soul. How can anyone not see it?" She grinned at him. "They must all be blind." "And deaf." He tapped his temple. "And not very right in the head." "Excellent, my lord," she said. "Your grasped that idiom quite well." He looked surprised by that, then smiled. "I have to learn if I am to impress the senhora. " She cast him a coy glance. "And why would you want to impress me, sir?" Picking up her hand, he pressed a kiss to it again and this time didn't release it. "Why would I not?" His wistful expression tugged at her sympathies. "You'd better eat your eggs before they get cold," she said, gently withdrawing her hand.””
