View Quote You're no fool, Miss Grace. No fool. You probably see that those curtains are hard to open... and obviously concluded that it's because they're not used very often.

But now it's gone. Jack McKay

Not much, perhaps, but nevertheless, a trace she had left. And the first in her young life in which she took pride.
