Love Among the Ruins Quotes

― Angela Thirkell, Love Among the Ruins

“Mother had an old aunt over at Allington when she was a girl, Aunt Lily Dale, and she was great on families and used to snap mother's head off if she didn't know who was whose relation, especially in East Barsetshire. She had some kind of dislike to the de Courcys, mother never knew why, and wouldn't talk about them, but otherwise she was a walking 'Who's Who.”
― Angela Thirkell, Love among the Ruins. A novel
