Jennifer Paynter quotes:

Blessed with the love of a good man, I felt equal to anything - even the prospect of living out my days in the Antipodes.

At that moment a solitary violin struck up. But the music was not dance music; it was more like a song - a solemn, sweet song. (I know now that it was Beethoven's Romance in F.) I listened, and suddenly it was as if the fog that surrounded me had been penetrated, as if I were being spoken to.
