Forgot to mention my favorite quotes from Briarley!
“Then we are at an impasse,” said the parson, “for my daughter is not mine to offer.”
The dragon mused. “She is engaged?”
“She is very much engaged,” the parson said gravely, for it was true, in its way: Rose was very much engaged in war work, in her studies, in a great many things that did not involve catering to the moods of a dragon.
BEST QUOTE EVER. Also,
It struck the parson that it had been quite foolish of the enchantress to try to force the young man to learn to love by cutting him off almost entirely from human contact.
