“His dress told her nothing, but his face told her things which she was glad to know.””
— A. A. Milne
“She also considered very seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds and trees; a life of retirement away from the vain world; a life into which no man came. It had its attractions, but she decided that gray did not suit her.””
— A. A. Milne
“I always whatever I liked," she said, "but now I really do it.””
— A. A. Milne
“I suppose that by this time they had finished their dressing. Roger Scurvilegs tells us nothing on such important matters; no doubt from modesty. "Next morning they rose," he says, and disappoints us of a picture of Udo brushing his hair.””
— A. A. Milne
