“After procuring several fervent assurances that his wife would apologize sincerely and deeply for his absence from Rosings that evening, Mr Collins reluctantly died.”
Lindz McLeod, The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet

“She does not mind that he remakes her points as if they were his own; conversely, she feels rather important that by producing a baseline, she can encourage him to embellish, to make something bolder and more exuberant. She likes being his foundation, and she is happy to believe she is more of a backstage person.”
Lindz McLeod, Turducken

“You want to say those words back to your girlfriend, the words she makes a gift of—not showy, or ostentatious, but a gift nonetheless—to make a trophy of your tongue, to hammer gold into curved, melodic notes and spread them on the floor like stepping stones into your chest. You can’t, not yet. But you will.”
Lindz McLeod, Turducken
