Elizabeth Gaskell

Elizabeth Gaskell
It is bad to believe you in error. It would be infinitely worse to have known you a hypocrite.
Elizabeth Gaskell
He could not forget the touch of her arms around his neck, impatiently felt as it had been at the time but now the recollection of her clinging defence of him, seemed to thrill him through and through,—to melt away every resolution, all power of self-control, as if it were wax before a fire.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Nevertheless, his moustachios are splendid.
Elizabeth Gaskell

Elizabeth Gaskell

Elizabeth Gaskell
