Georgette Heyer Quotes

I'm Really Not Quite As Frippery A Fellow As You Seem To Think! I Own That In My Grasstime I Committed A Great Many Follies And Extravagances, But, Believe Me, I've Long Since Out-grown Them! I Don't Think They Were Any Worse Than What Nine Out Of Ten Youngsters Commit, But Unfortunately I Achieved, Through Certain Circumstances, A Notoriety Which Most Young Men Escape. I Was Born With A Natural Aptitude For The Sporting Pursuits You Regard With So Much Distrust, And I Inherited, At Far Too Early An Age, A Fortune Which Not Only Enabled Me To Indulge My Tastes In The Most Expensive Manner Imaginable, But Which Made Me An Object Of Such Interest That Everything I Did Was Noted, And Talked Of. That's Heady Stuff For Greenhorns, You Know! There Was A Time When I Gave The Gossips Plenty To Talk About. But Do Give Me Credit For Having Seen The Error Of My Ways!
