Poison Ivy Quotes

“She opened the wardrobe door and reached behind a row of shoes to retrieve the box. She laid it on the dressing table, admiring the carved wood, the delicate brass clasps and hinges. She had been given it when she was a child by an elderly uncle, who said it had been made specially for the most beautiful girl in the world. And only that girl would be able to open it. She smiled as she remembered opening it without difficulty, giving a cry of delight: “It’s me! I’m the most beautiful girl in the world.” She had resolved there and then that it would contain her most precious objects.”
