“For me starting the day without a pot of tea would be a day forever out of kilter.”

“They sat for several hours over a pot of tea and a plate of cake, and then they wandered the streets, impervious to time. By the end of the day, both realised that their lives had altered course.”

“Addy, living one day without you would never be for the best. I want you every minute of every day. Forever. I love you.”

“Start out the day assuming you know nothing. That’s a good start to the day.”

“For a week or a fortnight I can write prodigiously in a retired place (as at Broadstairs), and a day in London sets me up again and starts me. But the toil and labour of writing, day after day, without that magic lantern, is IMMENSE!!... My figures seem disposed to stagnate without crowds about them.”

“I also told you when I made you my bride that I would not count the days if you would promise me the same. I don't intend to start now, love. You're my wife, yesterday, today, and forever. - Aiden MacRae”
