Why handwriting matters

The summer that I was seventeen , the sweetest time of day was 9.15 am. I would listen for the metallic clang of the letterbox as the postman pushed the day’s mail through and the scratchy thud as it landed on the door mat.

Quotes by Daisy Goodwin

“... anyone can acquire wealth, the real art is giving it away.”
― Daisy Goodwin, The American Heiress

“I was so happy … before.’
‘I find that happiness can always be recollected in tranquillity, Ma’am,’ said Melbourne.
Victoria put her hands down and looked up at him, her pale blue eyes searching his face. ‘You were happy too?’
When Melbourne spoke, it was in the voice not of the urbane Prime Minister, but of a man of advancing years who is facing the loss of the only thing that is still capable of bringing him joy. ‘You know I was, Ma’am.”
― Daisy Goodwin, Victoria

Daisy’s Quotes

“I was waiting at table tonight, on account of it being such a big party, and just as I was coming round with the savoury, one of the ladies went and broke her necklace by fidgeting with it at the ta ble. She thought she picked 'em all up but this one rolled under my foot and I stood on it tight until all the ladies went upstairs. I wanted to give it to you. You're a black pearl, Bertha, that's what you are and it's only right that you should have it.”
― Daisy Goodwin, The American Heiress
