Wednesday Words



Margaret Hale, to her father about her opinion of the proud, Mr. Thornton:

"He is the first specimen of a manufacturer--of a person engaged in trade--that I have had the opportunity of studying, papa.  He is my first olive; let me make a face while I swallow it."

North & South, Elizabeth Gaskell

      Aw, so do I! Margaret is probably my favorite heroine--she's very relatable to me. :) Thank you for the comment. I love your blog, and you family, even though I haven't even met you guys.
