Spinster Sister Quotes

“While Harriett was certainly unique, Sebastian felt they had developed a cordial friendship rather than a romance. She was funny and sweet, and he enjoyed talking to her. If they married, he didn’t think he would have any aversion to consummating the union and sharing a bed with her. But Harriett didn’t make him feel as if he’d been kicked in the gut at the mere sight of her. She didn’t make him fantasize about silencing her sarcastic mouth with a searing kiss. Helena did all that, and then some. Sebastian would be a fool to ignore what his instincts were trying to tell him. Helena Montgomery might possibly be the woman he was meant to marry.”

“The people of the ton were slaves to their vices. The ladies never wore the same gown twice to public functions and dripped with jewels. The gentlemen gambled their fortunes away on a whim and showed their wealth in carriages and horseflesh. She had seen mountains of food go to waste at balls and opulent gowns thrown into scrap heaps.”
