Live forever Quote by Sarah MacLean
““She leveled Penelope with a look. “Penelope, you must think, darling! When your father dies! What then?” Lord Needham looked up from his pheasant. “I beg your pardon?” Lady Needham waved one hand in the air as though she hadn’t time to think about her husband’s feelings, instead prodding, “He shan’t live forever, Penelope! What then?” Penelope could not think of why this was in any way relevant. “Wel , that shal be very sad, I imagine.””
