“I had never been the sort of person who was first to offer sympathy, a handkerchief, a listening ear, to an acquaintance who looked distressed, but something about Lucy made me wish to be. I wanted to help her; I wanted to make her smile.”
Jane Healey, The Animals at Lockwood Manor

“Perhaps I could be like some desert plant, and these months together could be the rarest of summer rainstorms, could be all the water I would ever need to survive, to live on—but I knew that could not be true, for I was a creature of flesh and blood.”
Jane Healey, The Animals at Lockwood Manor

“Besides, the servants would have surely swept it outside, I thought, picturing each separate curl dancing in the wind, strands floating across the gardens, pieces of me littering the estate, tangled up with the plants and trees, invisible to anyone searching.”
Jane Healey, The Animals at Lockwood Manor
