'Being irritable, being tired, and all the endless worries of problems and plans, none of this mattered any more when he was with her. He brought with him always a funny kind of peace, and with the peace a strange sense of stimulation. So that when she was with Niall she was rested and excited, both at once.'

~ Daphne du Maurier, The Parasites, 1949
