“Marigold (Calendula)--- Herb of the Sun.
Not a perennial. Apricot color like cosmos = rangy and tall, a weed. Calendula = composed. Loni's flower”
― Virginia Hartman, The Marsh Queen

“The imposter's long, sturdy traveling cloak covered plain, dark, modest traveling clothes. Like the duchess, she was tall and well-rounded, and she spoke with the duchess's aristocratic accent. Also like the duchess, she wore her black hair smoothed back from her face.
Yet for the discerning eye, the differences were obvious. The imposter had a sweeter, rounder face, dominated by large blue eyes striking in their serenity. Her voice was husky, warm, rich. Her hands rested calmly at her waist, and she moved with serene grace, not at all with the brisk certainty of the duchess. She was slow to smile, slow to frown, and never laughed with glorious freedom. Indeed, she seemed to weigh each emotion before allowing it egress, as if sometime in the past every drop of impulsiveness had been choked from her. It wasn't that she was morose, but she was observant, composed, and far too quiet.”
― Christina Dodd, One Kiss From You

“There are quiet people, and there are people who are quiet for a reason.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, Stamerenophobia

“The people who 'have it all together' are only protecting the fragile vestige of their self-confidence.”
