A Dead Bore (John Pickett Mysteries, #2) QUOTES

1 " Miss Grantham ordered me to my room and told me no man would ever wish to marry me if I did not learn to behave like a lady. But Miss Grantham always behaves like a lady, and no man has ever wished to marry her, either, so if it really makes no difference in the end, I don’t see why I shouldn’t at least have fun! "

― Sheri Cobb South , A Dead Bore (John Pickett Mysteries, #2)

2 " To wheel about in one's chair to address the footman would be completely outside the pale. "

3 " I must confess, though, that I shall rather miss John Footman. I can't imagine why. Pickett took her ladyship's hand and steadied her as she mounted the step. The fellow was incompetent. I wouldn't say that, protested Lady Fieldhurst. I found him rather adept---at some things. She gave him a mischievous smile...was it possible that she was remembering that midnight kiss in the library? No, of course not. Unmindful of the rain, Pickett stood there in the courtyard for a long moment, a singularly foolish smile playing about his mouth. "
