• Lily se desplomó, poniendo sus temblorosas manos sobre sus hombros. "Pero lo harás, ¿verdad?". La voz de Pansy se quebró en un sollozo. "Sí, Pan", dijo Galen en voz baja. "Eso no me gusta", dijo Pansy. Galen se levantó y rodeó con los brazos a la chica de huesos finos, mientras Rose seguía consolando a Lily. Oliver apartó la mirada. Era un momento tan privado que odiaba entrometerse. Galen era querido por todas las hermanas, pero el amor entre él y Rose era tan claro y brillante que le dolía mirarlos, pasando sus últimas horas juntos cuidando de las otras chicas.

• I want to help you," Oliver said. "Why?" Galen looked up at him. "Because of Petunia?" Oliver was relieved that the prince didn't seem to be skeptical about his conviction.

"I risked my life to save Rose after only speaking with her twice," Galen said with a small smile.

• And – I think you know, don’t you? – that I love you, Anne.’ I feel as if I have been living in a loveless world for too long. The last tender face I saw was my father’s when he sailed for England. ‘You do? Truly?’ ‘I do.’ He rises to his feet and pulls me up to stand beside him. My chin comes to his shoulder, we are both dainty, long-limbed, coltish: well-matched. I turn my face into his jacket. ‘Will you marry me?’ he whispers. ‘Yes,’ I say.

• Nunca exhalan, los árboles; en un día de mucho viento, crujen e inhalan, y entonces las hojas y las ramas tiemblan como si algo quisiera estrangularles la vida. El cielo observa.
