“Not very romantic, is it? But I don't want you to feel powerless with me. I value your intelligence and your strength. I'd rather you stood at my side than in my shadow.”
Mimi Matthews, A Holiday by Gaslight

“A wounded animal will bite and claw,” she said to Mrs. Ogilvy. “And it often cannot tell friend from foe. One mustn’t judge such a creature too harshly.”
Mimi Matthews, The Work of Art

“I don't know if I can let you dance with anyone else. Not without kissing you first.”
Mimi Matthews, A Holiday by Gaslight
