“Virtue, dear friend, needs no defense,The surest guard is innocence: None knew, till guilt created fear, What darts or poisoned arrows were”
“Dalgliesh was too experienced to assume that fear implied guilt; it was often the most innocent who were the most terrified.”
“The surest poison is time.”
“The poison dart hidden in the raisin tart. ...”
“If blue is dreamwhat then innocence?What awaits the heartif Love bears no arrows?”
“Guilt and no guilt: these were the worst things. The only thing worse than the guilt was the fear of getting caught.”
