"I was unfaithful. That's what I was. It helped to have it spelled out. I shook my head and stared at his feet. I felt a pang at their familiarity. It takes an awful lot to stop loving someone. We'd both pigeon-toed away from the relationship, step-by-step."

"I don't know if it's linked to being the oldest child but Issy runs the gamut of tyranny. Half the time she's imperious, treating us like Blackadder treats Baldrick, the rest of the time, she's sulking because we offended her in our sleep or something. She likes to be the boss, but she also likes to be babied."
