Quotes by Clare Darcy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The truth of the matter is that I had been knocked so a-cock by the notion that I didn't really care tuppence for Corinna that I wasn't quite certain at the time of my own complete sanity. It comes as the devil of a shock, you see, to realise you've let a milk-and-water miss with a pretty face charm you out of your senses, and that you've been building your life for two years around a girl who never existed except in your own imagination”
― Clare Darcy, Elyza

“Perhaps I am mistaken. But you can scarcely blame me, ma'am, for believing that not even your remarkably impetuous granddaughter could go haring off into an adventure of this sort without realising that she was very likely to come out of it with a husband!”
― Clare Darcy, Lydia
