“She snatched the package and ripped it open. “Knickers, knickers, knickers. Knickers, knickers, knickers. These are for me, seein I’ve nane.” She pirouetted, lifting her skirt. Janet averted her eyes. Nudity had no part in her life. “Please do have them, if they’re any use to you,” she began. “Oh, Lady Bountiful, oh, how too too kind.” Beakface was mimicking Janet’s voice; then she resumed her own. “I’ll have them whether you like it or no.

Quotes by Lady Barker
“I sometimes have sex with men, too, and not in a ‘it’s just a phase’ fashion. I do consider myself bi. And what might concern you more, considering that Jack has so far been a firm believer in loving just the ladies, is that I’m into BDSM. Mostly the ‘S’ and ‘M’ parts of the acronym, but it’s a wide playing field, and I’ve spent my time rolling around in the various corners.

In the very early morning I have often stood shivering at my window to see the noble outline gradually assuming shape, and finally standing out sharp and clear against a dazzling sky, then as the sun rises, the softest rose-coloured and golden tints touch the highest peaks, the shadows deepening by contrast.””
“Puse was on a narrow shelf not more than six feet wide, and was barking viciously at the lion, which I could tell was backed in against the cliff, not three feet from him. He had followed the lion over the cliff, which had a sheer drop of at least ten feet, down to the shelf, which had caught the Old Lady there in a spot where she had thought she would be safe from the dogs. Puse was really telling it to her, right to her teeth, and I feared he would go in and grab her any moment and get hurt.””
