“‘Any girl with a dowry is told from the day she’s born that she has to marry just the right person for just the right reasons at just the right time.’ She grimaced. ‘All you can hope for is that he’s got teeth. And hair.’”

LOL! that's too funny, nice teaser today :)
Witty and sad but true! I will keep an eye out for this book. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesday-day-for-night.html
That gave me a chuckle... I will be looking for this book, sounds like my kind of reading.
The definition of just the right person has certainly changed.
Such a great teaser! But what an awful thought! Hope you're enjoying this one.
Here's my teaser.
Can't wait to read this one. Great teaser!
LOL! So amusing! Great, great teaser! XD
I like it! She sounds smart and sassy. Pretty cover, too. Here's mine from The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie.
LOL
Love it!
In that era, I suppose that would have been most important.

Great teaser!
Haha love this teaser! This sounds like a great read, I hope you're liking it so far (:
Interesting teaser! Off to check out this book on Goodreads...
your teaser remembers me of one I read a while ago (I then read the book):
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman of fortune and passable good looks amuses herself in London with fashion, philanthropic works, and flirtation, until a suitable gentleman makes an offer.“
Janet Mullany "The rules of Gentility"
Great teaser!! That's probably what it really was like back in the day...lol

Reminds me of that old movie The Heiress with Olivia DeHavilland & Montgomery Clift.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Finally making my way through everyone's teasers ---- this one is great! :)
Teeth and hair? Hmm. I was after brains and a sense of humor. :D
Oh, poor girl. She is wishing for teeth and hair. :) Great teaser.
If you would like to stop by to read the teaser I have up...

Excellent teaser! Talk about low expectations. What a depressing thought. I am a sucker for books inspired by fairytales, so I will have to keep any eye out for Princess of Glass.
Ha, that's funny coming from a young girl. Now if she were 'old' teeth and hair would be a real concern! lol
Haha. Brilliant teaser - I think I'll be quoting that one "in real life"!
Hi there Celia, I did this book tour as well, and just posted my review! Thought I would drop in and say hi!
