whoop. fact of the day huh.
So well, today I was on my way to meet mummy, Jude, Bridget and the darling Jerome @the airport, and I started on an old cherished book of mine - A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
I'm halfway through the Penguin Classic, and it's amazing. I love Burnett's style. Impeccable, it is. Really. And the English is soooo English. Victorian-era English.
Here's a quote that jumped at me whilst I was absorbed in it earlier.
"If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that -- warm things, kind things, sweet things"
