The Case of William Smith Quotes

“She was a little bit of a thing with a light untidy fluff of hair and a nose which went pink in moments of emotion. It was pink now and it quivered. She dabbed aimlessly at her hair and three of the remaining pins fell out. William stooped to pick them up, and wished he hadn't. He said he thought he would go to bed, and went.”

“She was music, poetry, and the enchantment which lies just over the edge of thought.”
― Patricia Wentworth, The Case of William Smith

“She moved like clouds, like water, like anything lovely and effortless and free.”
― Patricia Wentworth, The Case of William Smith
