“Oh yes, well, I find myself unconventional everywhere.”

“She found herself longing for home-not just for the hotel but for New York and all the real novels that she could lose herself in there.”

“She was like a heroine in a novel that she herself was writing the character kept protesting that she was too strong for love and yet the narrator went on describing her desire.”

“Diana knew it wouldn't be right, but then she told herself that things only looked wrong when there was someone to see you.”

“How she wished she had Elizabeth to herself for a little so they could discuss what Henry's real intentions were and also how high and mighty Penelope had acted at lunch and what a tremendous insult it was that she'd come at all and did anyone really think she was beautiful with those oversize features anyway.”
