County Chronicle Quotes

“Francis, who was very well off, who found the comfort of his mother’s house more attractive than a house of his own, who could use his mother’s car but did not think of her need of it, who enjoyed gallivanting about the country and doing theatricals with Lady Cora (for so he put it not very kindly to himself) and at the same time demanded his wife’s presence, who was not taking part, though a few years earlier it was she who was the theatrical star.”
― Angela Thirkell, County Chronicle

“How two such charming women as Mrs. Brandon and Peggy can tolerate such a bounder as Francis beats me. I don’t mean there’s anything wrong with him, but he looks so damned pleased with himself.”
― Angela Thirkell, County Chronicle
