The Home Quotes

“Mrs. Bennet was fertilizing her roses. (...) She did think that, probably more than most people, they had souls. If she had been asked what she meant by a soul she would have dismissed the question as though soul were as much an ingredient of life as salt or cinnamon or baking powder.(...) The smell of her oses when she buried her nose in them was soul.”
― Penelope Mortimer, The Home
