Quotes edit see section history

• “Do unto others as you would like done to you. We haven't gone to your house, so you shouldn't come to ours.”

  Amanda Crane

• “Eloise spent the entire day in the garden, lounging on an exceedingly comfortable chaise that she was quite convinced had been imported from Italy, since it was her experience that neither the English nor the French had any clue as to how to fashion comfortable furniture.”

• “We girls have been presented with a new governess, and she is misery personified. She drones on about sums from dawn until dusk. Poor Hyacinth now breaks into tears every time she hears the word 'seven.'”

  Eloise Bridgerton

• “Flowers he could do. Green plants he could do even better, but somehow he didn't think Eloise would find much romance in a fistful of ivy.”

  Sir Phillip Crane

• “Men. The day they learned to admit to a mistake was the day they became women.”

  Eloise Bridgerton

• “You will always be a Bridgerton, and we behave with honor and honesty, not because it is expected of us, but because that is what we are.”

  Anthony Bridgerton

• “Why couldn't she ever be subtle, coy? Her mother had once told her that she could catch more flies with honey than a sledgehammer, but Eloise never could learn to keep her thoughts to herself.”

  Eloise Bridgerton

• “Beware a woman asking questions. You will never answer correctly.”

• “Phillip had never thought the day would come when he'd be frightened by a woman, but as God was his witness, Eloise Bridgerton scared the living wits out of him.”

• “"Here are your choices," Anthony said, sitting behind Phillip's desk as if he owned the place."You can marry him in one week,or you can marry him in two."”
