Well, if you weren't flirting with him-his voice had now grown a little plaintive-who was he, and what did you want with him anyway? If you are so determined to bore me, I may just have to go home. Astrid sighed carelessly, What a shame, when I am wearing such a pretty dress.
Anna Godbersen
She had rarely been near Henry since then, and the sight of him now was like a concentrated dose.

Anna Godbersen
Henry turned his hat in his hands but went on looking at Diana in a way that made her want to crawl into his arms and stay there forever.
Anna Godbersen
She was full of some strange energy that morning. Her every movement had purpose and life and she seemed to find satisfaction in every little thing.
Anna Godbersen

Her small round mouth flexed in an immediate and knowing smile. That's the girl I'm going to marry Henry thought.
