Commonplace Book

'"We are all as God made us," sighed the young gentleman.

"By no means," said the Princess Baba, "for some people are charming and some are not, and what does God know of charm? It is dreadful to lie awake at night thinking that God lacks charm. Yet the word is never so much as mentioned in the Bible."'

from May Fair by Michael Arlen (Prologue)
