[personal profile] toujours_nigel

In that quiet unhappiness, she looked up, scorning to cry, almost, even, happy, so gentle her sorrow was, and always there, held beneath every laugh—and she laughed often, when she felt she should, and it was expected of her—and saw all the people around her talking, shouting, browsing through books and pictures and reasoning on what to splurge and where to pinch pennies, and she laid down the book that she had perused all afternoon, and nodded, smiling, at the bookseller, and took her bag and suddenly left the shop. Her friends were used to her being strange.
