Was Briony the only person who could hear the venom dripping from the woman’s tongue? What good was beauty – a mature beauty, but beauty nonetheless – if it cloaked such a viperous soul?

About This Quote

For a long time, Briony thought she was the only person who could hear what the woman was saying about Lady Catherine DeBurgh. It seemed everyone else had been blindsided by the venomous words coming out of her mouth. Briony also believed that she was the only one who could see that Lady Catherine had a viperous soul. While the others may have been blindsided by Lady Catherine, they weren't so blinded that they didn't notice the snake in their midst.
