Quotes

I do need another husband. I had one once, but I killed him.[5]

—Myranda, to Alayne Stone

Alayne: That must have been dreadful, my lady. Him dying. There, I mean, whilst... whilst he was...
Myranda: ...fucking me? It was disconcerting, certainly. Not to mention discourteous. He did not even have the common decency to plant a child in me. Old men have weak seed. So here I am, a widow, but scarce used.[5]

Alayne Stone and Myranda

Harry could have done much worse. I daresay that he will.[5]

—Myranda, to Alayne Stone
