"Durup yesil isigin yanmasini bekledi ve sonra Highland Bulvari'na girip dokme demirden yapilma siyah bahce kapisinin onunde durdu. Kapida sifreyi girdikten sonra parke taslariyla kapli genis avluya girdi.Yabanci biri olsa kaldirimlar boyunca uzanan gaz lambalarinin titresen isiklarini ve yan taraftaki duvarlari orten sarmasiklari gordugunde, ilk bakista buranin Birmingham sehir merkezine bes dakika uzakliktaki Mountain Brook degil de Londra'da, alt kisminda ahirlar bulunan sira sira evlerin uzandigi kucuk, antika bir sokak oldugunu dusunurdu. Mountain Brook gercekten de Guney Amerika'dan ziyade Ingiltere'ye ait bir yermis gibi gorunuyordu ve bu durum Maggie'nin sehir disindan gelen musterilerini her zaman sasirtirdi. Fakat burayi kuran demir, komur ve celik baronlarinin cogu ya Ingiltere'den ya da Iskocya'dan gelmisti. Red Mountain'in tam tepesinde bulunan ve sehri kusbakisi goren Crestview, Maggie'nin bu mahalledki en sevdigi evdi. Iskocyali bir adam tarafindan insa ettirilen bu ev aslinda Edinburgh'da yer alan bir evin birebir kopyasiydi."

"She sat and waited for the red light to change and then turned off Highland Avenue and pulled up to the black wrought iron gates, pushed her gate code, and drove into the large cobblestone courtyard. At first glance, seeing the tall, flickering gas lamps lining the sidewalks and the ivy growing up the sides of the walls, a stranger might have guessed they were in a quaint little mews somewhere in London, instead of in Mountain Brook, just five minutes from downtown Birmingham. Mountain Brook had always looked more English than southern, something that had always surprised her out-of-town buyers, but most of the iron, coal, and steel barons who had settled it had been from either England or Scotland. Crestview, her very favorite house, that stood atop Red Mountain and overlooked the city, had been built by a Scotsman and was an exact replica of a house in Edinburgh."
"Inan ki insanlarin artik beyin yerine ne kullandiklarini anlamiyorum. / I swear, I don't know what people are using for brains anymore."
"Eger gercek mutluluk diye bir sey varsa o da insanin dogru yerde oldugunu bilmesiydi. / If there is such a thing as complete happiness, it is knowing that you are in the right place.”

"Sudan cikarana dek nasil bir balik tuttugunu bilemezsin. / You never know what kind of fish you've got till you pull it out of the water."
"Gunun en karanlik saati gorkemli safak vaktinden hemen onceki saattir. / It's always the darkest just before the glorious dawn."
