The Seamstress Quotes

“Heaven preserve me from Lady Somethings. Starchy, top-lofty creatures, the lot of them, always insisting on protocol and precedence. We want none of that in this family. The Makenhams have survived four hundred years since the first barony without the least scandal or misadventure, always perfectly respectable, because we never got ambitious or political or clever, and we kept well clear of all the stuffy Lady Somethings. You marry someone who will make you comfortable, Ferdy.”
― Mary Kingswood, The Seamstress
