The Ink Master's Silence Quotes

“What is in your letter?" Miss Glass asked, picking it up. "It's from Patience. You can't ignore her forever." I rather thought I could, but I took it anyway. "She apologizes," I said, scanning the page. "She hopes I will one day be able to forgive her." "If it's forgiveness she wants, she ought to marry someone else." I shook my head. "You are so contrary, Miss Glass. You want her to marry Matt. I thought you'd be telling me I ought to forgive her, or that there is nothing to forgive." "Of course there's something to forgive. She's taking away my nephew. The household will never be the same again." I blinked at her, not quite sure if I understood correctly. She thought she was the injured party in this arrangement, not me. I’d always assumed the upper classes were a selfish lot, and now I had confirmation. I wasn't sure whether to laugh, cry, or call her out. In the end, I said nothing. She was an elderly woman, used to thinking of no one but herself. Pointing out her selfishness would achieve nothing but discord between us, and despite everything, I was fond of her.”

“Until then, I will exercise my right to scowl, glower and glare at him when he flirts with you.”
