A Good House Quotes

“The magnificent houses, the three old-money brick houses, each with a small turret and a wraparound porch, had been built uptown near the churches when the town was younger and smaller, before the Great War. The wraparound porches were there to hold rainy-day children and morning tea carts and quiet late-evening converstion, cosy, discreet conversation which could not easily take place in front rooms or kitchens or bedrooms, certainly not on the street.”
― Bonnie Burnard, A Good House

“...no resource anywhere was as renewable or as ready to be tapped as the rage of young men.”
― Bonnie Burnard, A Good House
