It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Some women, the few, have charm for all and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Always try to be a litle kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
She was not a little girl heart-broken about him she was a grown woman smiling at it all, but they were wet smiles.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
James M. Barrie
I think it's perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls.
James M. Barrie
Will they reach the nursery in time? If so, how delightful for them, and we shall all breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be no story. On the other hand, if they are not in time, I solemnly promise that it will all come right in the end.
James M. Barrie
