William Boyd Quotes

That Evening, After Romer Had Left So Peremptorily, She Had Gone Through To The Salon To Talk To Her Father. A Job For The British Government, She Told Him. £500 A Year, A British Passport. He Feigned Surprise But It Was Obvious That Romer Had Briefed Him To A Certain Extent.
'You'd Be A British Citizen, With A Passport,' Her Father Said, His Features Incredulous, Almost Abjectly So - As If It Were Unthinkable That A Nonentity Such As He Should Have A Daughter Who Was A British Citizen. 'Do You Know What I Would Give To Be A British Citizen?' He Said, All The While With His Left Hand Miming A Sawing Motion At His Right Elbow.
