Rika - (The Unpretentious Reader)

“I believe I told you I am utterly serious. I never lie."

"Now that is a clanker if ever I heard one." she retorted.

"Well, then, I never lie about anything important."

Her hands found their way to her hips and she let out a loud, "Harumph.”

“"What do you say, Miss Lyndon? Shall we have a go at it?"

" 'Shall we have a go at it?' " Ellie choked out. Really, this was not the proposal of her dreams.”

“I'd wager you have a vengeful streak a mile wide," he muttered.

"I am the least vengeful person I know," she said with a sniff. "And if you think otherwise, then perhaps you ought not to marry me."

"You're marrying me," he ground out, "if I have to drag you to the altar bound and gagged."

Ellie smiled waspishly. "You could try," she taunted, "but in your condition you couldn't drag a flea."

"And you say you're not vengeful."

"I seem to be developing a taste for it.”

“-الرجال لا يتزوجون الجميلات فقط.
- لو أن الجمال هو المقياس الوحيد للزواج لبارت نصف نساء الأرض، فهناك أنواع أخرى من الجمال تكمن فى أعماق المرأة، كوفائها وطيبتها، ومرحها و إخلاصها، وكل رجل على وجه الأرض يبحث عن واحد من أوجه الجمال هذه، وعادة ما يكون هذا الوجه هو ما يفتقده فى تعاملاته كثيراً.
- فالرجل السطحى وحده هو الذى يسعى خلف جمال الوجه والجسد، أما الرجل العاقل فيبحث عن امرأة وفية مخلصة، تتخلى عن العالم من أجله، وتظل مخلصة له طيلة حياتها، دون أن تطمع فى أكثر من حبه وحنانه.”
