“She had once been described, by one who saw below the surface, as a perfectly beautiful woman in an absolutely plain shell.””
— Florence L. Barclay
“I suddenly became conscious that, for the first time in my whole life, I was essential to somebody. I could not enter a room without realising that he was instantly aware of my presence; I could not leave a room without knowing that he would at once feel and regret my absence.””
— Florence L. Barclay
