Harriet by Jilly Cooper
“I’ve never had a Harriet before,”
“I’ve never had a Harriet before,”
“We did what you asked, Nana,”
“It didn’t matter if you were the one doing the leaving or if you were the one left behind,”
“The words had continued on a loop in my head ever since,”
“Figured I would end up dying alone, surrounded by cats,”
“Being told I was too much meant I’ve kept myself quiet at times when I should have been loud,”
“Blushing is becoming an awful recurring habit,”
“There’s no money in polo,”
“We don’t be apart again,”
“Don’t be so dismissive of him, Sapphire, just because he was nice to you,”
