Quotes
Splendid as he looked in his bright feather cloak, he had only come to beg.[8]
Beneath his jewels and feathers, Xho was little more than a wellborn beggar. Robert could have put an end to his importuning for good with one firm "No," but the notion of conquering the Summer Isles had appealed to her drunken lout of a husband.[7]
