Daphne Du Maurier Quotes

He Proceeded To Cut Carefully A Thin Slice From The Loaf, Which He Quartered In Pieces And Buttered For Her, The Whole Business Very Delicately Done And In Striking Contrast To His Manner In Serving Himself - So Much So That To Mary There Was Something Almost Horrifying In The Change From Rough Brutality To Fastidious Care. It Was As Though There Was Some Latent Power In His Fingers Which Turned Them From Bludgeons Into Deft And Cunning Servants. Had He Cut Her A Chunk Of Bread And Hurled It At Her She Would Not Have Minded So Much; It Would Have Been In Keeping With What She Had Seen Of Him. But This Sudden Coming To Grace, This Quick And Exquisite Moving Of His Hands, Was A Swift And Rather Sinister Revelation, Sinister Because It Was Unexpected And Not True To Type.
