Clare

• ‘Stepping always on the edge of danger’
• ‘Nothing sacrificial in Clare Kendry’s idea of life’
• ‘In her own rather catlike way’
• ‘There was no mistaking the friendliness of that smile‘
• ‘behind what was now an ivory mask lurked a scornful amusement’
• ‘To be a person and not a charity or a problem, or even a daughter of the indiscreet Ham’
• ‘What was it about Clare’s voice that was so appealing, so very seductive?’
• ‘Clare began to talk, steering carefully away from anything that might lead towards race’
• ‘Clare’s incredibly beautiful face’
• ‘Clare’s innate lack of consideration for the feelings of others’
