Christmas at the Chateau Quotes

“she gave a little pull and then in a swoosh of water and blood the baby slithered out onto the bed and its cry filled the room. ‘It’s here!’ Royston, a piece of wood in his hand, stood staring in awe. He dropped the wood and fell to the floor beside the bed, kissing Daisy’s face in rapture. ‘What is it?’ Daisy asked tiredly. ‘A girl,’ Millie said over the baby’s wailing. She wiped the baby’s tiny face, cleaning away the gunky birth mess.”
