Dear Lily Quotes

“There was no elevator, so I lugged my cases up four flights of stairs, where I was met by Viggo – my first bona fide Danish person! He wasn’t a whole lot taller than me, which was reassuring, and he had blond hair and a stubbly beard, like a lesser Bee Gee brother. He also seemed a bit standoffish, but that might have been in comparison to all the polite fakery we normally do in England, all the gushing and frozen grins, the bobbing and blushing, and ‘Oh gosh, really?’ and the rest. Viggo made statements impassively, and moved on to the next one without asking how my journey was, or mentioning the weather, or noting that I was still panting heavily (what, me out of shape?). I was surprised to learn I was staying in the large canary-coloured room”
