Teaser Tuesdays - September 30, 2014

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To play along, just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• Be careful not to include spoilers!
• Share the title and author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

A little background before the teaser - Dominica is the Spanish lady that Englishman Sir Nicholas Beauvallet has promised to seek out and marry, and she is secretly in love with him, although she is a ward of her aunt's in Spain during a time of great hostility between their two countries.

It was not caution made her [Dominica] so reticent, for she could not think that she would ever see Sir Nicholas again, but she had a dread of letting her aunt into her confidence. Dona Beatrice was like a snail, she thought, trailing a sticky poison in her wake. What she touched she soiled; all virtue was made to seem a little foolish; all vice was merely smiled upon.
