“So why was he doing this? Doing what? He wasn't doing anything! But if he wasn't doing anything, why did he feel so guilty about not doing it?”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“That was how it started. As simple as that.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“For the last few weeks I've had something to look forward to, something to give my life at least a bit of purpose, rather than sitting on a train for nearly three hours a day and going home to an argument and food designed for five-year-olds. It's been months since anyone has taken an interest in me. I haven't talked to anyone for years like we’ve talked. I mean, really talked?”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“How do you talk to a married man who has just declared undying friendship for you?”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“It just so happens to be true. We've drifted apart recently. I can't tell her about you because she wouldn't understand that we can be just friends. Anyway, I'm a hopeless liar, it's best just to tell her nothing: Admittedly, he was getting better at lying. Practice certainly does make imperfect.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“So that's what we are - just friends?'
Jamie shrugged. 'I don't know.'
'There's a lot you don't know, isn't there?”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“Men and women can't be just friends. Two minutes ago we were talking just like friends and the next minute I'd stepped over the boundary and we were discussing things that friends shouldn't. It's only another small step for mankind for us to be doing things that friends shouldn't either. And by tomorrow I'll have forgotten what I said and we'll be back to boss and secretary again. Yet you'll think of it every time you see my desk piled high with paperwork.
That's the difference between men and women.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“Could she really even consider doing this to another woman? Another woman with children...”

“He had tried. Not to ring her, but to not ring her. He had tried not to think about her. He had tried not to pursue her.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“He was a married man - it was too cruel, too calculating, too bloody unfair of him to pursue her in cold blood.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“You don't hold hands with people uniess there's something going on.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“You can blow the whistle at any time you like. And the sooner you do it, the less painful it will be. Don't wait until you crash into the buffers and there's a mangled wreck around you.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“Love is like a virus. It's totally debilitating and it takes a hell of a long time to recover from. And when you're low it'll hit you again?”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“I'm sorry, I really didn't mean for this to happen. You deserve someone far better than me. Someone who is free to give you what you want.”
― Carole Matthews

“If we were talking about wise, I wouldn't be here at all.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“I wish there was another way I could do this. I wish I didn't care about my wife and the kids. I wish I could walk away from you and not give you a second thought. And more than anything, I wish I could forget who I am and make mad passionate love to you and damn the consequences.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“Come out and say goodbye like an adult.'
'I don't feel like an adult. I was going to be brave and sophisticated and light-hearted but I can't.'
'I love you.”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“I wish you weren't married, that we weren't hurting anyone by loving each other, and I wish more than anything that when I opened my eyes you'd still be here?”
― Carole Matthews, Let's Meet on Platform 8 / A Whiff of Scandal

“Life was nothing but a bitter journey on the rails to nowhere. A series of horrible tacky stations, unexpected delays and, sometimes along the way, the odd devastation of a major derailment. That's what he had been - a major derailment on life's tortured track.”
― Carole Matthews

'No, I'm not' he replied without hesitation. 'Not this time'.
Emma nodded slowly. 'I thought not'. Then she looked past him, avoiding his eye until she said 'then I must. I'm sorry Harry but I can't be your mistress. I could do it in France when everyday could have been our last. but not back here. Not in London. You understand that don't you?'
and it was absolutely no consolation to Harry Walsh that he did.”
― Howard Linsky
