Helen of Castleford Quotes

“He looked her over critically and found that he was pleasantly surprised. Her voice was agreeable and well-modulated, surely a good quality for a wife to possess. Her colouring was on the drab side, which also seemed desirable for her role, which was to blend into the background of his life. He knew she was twenty, but she was surprisingly composed for such a relatively young lady with no social experience to speak of.
She also wasn't ugly.”
― Blue Huxley, Helen of Castleford: Have Yourself a Marriage of Convenience
