Lady X's Cowboy Quotes

“I’m praying, he thought to himself.  He’d never been one for church, preferring to take his divine inspiration from what surrounded him.  But lying here with Olivia, touching her reverently, he felt something shift inside him, something large and profound, as though he’d finally learned the answer to a riddle he’d been trying to solve. ”

“You may not dine at the Reform Club, but you deserve courtesy and respect.”  She sighed.  “Which is more than rumor will allow.  Sometimes I think we parvenus are more protective of the social pecking order than the nobility.  I suppose it’s born out of fear.” She had the most surprising mind, and fingers as pretty as  music.  “Fear of what?”  “Insufficiency, I suppose.”  She frowned as she worked out a knot in the horse’s mane.  “That somehow we aren’t as good as those whose manners we ape.  So we beat down anyone in our path, anyone who is different or who doesn’t precisely adhere to codes of behavior.” “Like cowboys.” “Or women who run breweries.” ”
