Quotes About Romance

He held her lightly enough and, after the chaste custom of the era, his hands were gloved. But his finger- tips felt a current from her body.

There are few men who do not look back in secret to some period of their youth, at which a sincere and early affection was repulsed, or betrayed, or became abortive through opposing circumstances.

But she's brave and good-hearted and faces her life head-on.
