Penelope Hawtrey > Penelope's Quotes

“Petronilla and I would climb these stairs together when everyone else had gone to bed, so if one of us slipped, the other one would be able to help. We weren’t to go here because both Wyndham and Constance forbade it.
Forbade? Shaking my head, I wonder how I haven’t messed up more using old-time language at home.
Don’t belong here. Don’t belong there. Don’t belong anywhere”
― Penelope S. Hawtrey

“Laurence turns away and stands at the window, looking out. Behind his silhouette, I see the blinking of lanterns from the villager’s homes. Smoke drifts above their chimneys. The arms of windmills twirl close by, providing electricity to the people of Rumbling Town that powers the streetlights.
“The calmness of an early morning whispers secrets to those who would listen,” Laurence says.
“Wyndham’s words,” Alwyn says with a catch in his voice.”
