A quote that made me smile this morning.

When she was seventeen, Irena accompanied her father on one of his infrequent visits to the Imperial Court. No matrimonial offers materialized, but at a grand ball an elderly Hungarian noblewoman took Irena aside and told her to be thankful for her unusual looks.

'Ours is the sort of beauty that attracts unusual men, who are of course the only men worth knowing.'
