Quotes about Cletus
Cletus had been Quentyn's dearest friend for half his life, a brother in all but blood.[2]
—thoughts of Quentyn Martell
A grand adventure, Cletus called it. Demon roads and stormy seas, and at the end of it the most beautiful woman in the world. A tale to tell our grandchildren. But Cletus will never father a child, unless he left a bastard in the belly of that tavern wench he liked. Will will never have his wedding. Their deaths should have some meaning.[6]
