Cocoa Quotes

She was decidedly attractive, he saw, but in an ill-natured, ungracious way.

They were like bad-tempered street-walkers, without walking the street.

And faraway places? There’s plenty of those! (And menacing villains to tingle your toes.)So ready your mettle and steady your heart. It’s time for my story’s mysterious start...
