“That lying little monster complained about everything: the food, the horses, the blankets, the company. He even found fault with the stories I told by the fire, but I cannot recall that he ever once complained about the climbing.”

“Green wood,” I suggested, but even he sensed that there was something unfortunate about a metaphor for a king in which you dry out your royalty before you set fire to it.

“The queen of Eddis is as beautiful as the day and as brilliant as the sun in the sky,” I said.
He was a fool if he didn’t believe me--

“I don’t know why I don’t stab you here in this alley....”
“Well, the stabbing would be unkind,” said Eugenides, “but you can have the annux part with my goodwill.”
“Not Attolia’s.”
“True,” said the king. “Better not stab me.”

"You sound like the chorus in a play," said Eugenides.
"And the play is a tragedy, I suppose?"
"A farce," Eugenides suggested, and the magus winced.

“So, so, so,” I said. “We know who the power behind the throne is,” and the magus laughed.
“You eat more than Gen did after prison,” he said.
“I have more sympathy with him all the time. Are you going to finish that drumstick?”
“I am. Stop staring at it.”

omg: Baron Erondites has a severe case of Dunning-Kruger, hasn't he. His toadies must say he's a genius. Talk abt a half-assed plan.
His sons got the intelligence of the family. Dite has kindness too. May Ferria treat him well.

No one on the verge of death has the strength to pile one foul word on top of another like a man compiling a layered pastry of obscene language, from the bottom step all the way to the top.

"Don’t give up hope just because chances are slim.”
“For the assassination or the heir, Your Majesty?"

As a copy editor, I am extremely amused that she phrases it this way. Esp. as she was def. #revising by then.

“I can’t keep on apologizing,” he said.
“Why not?” she asked, over his head.
“Well,” he said pensively, “I think you would be bored.”

“Oh,” she said in irritation and perfect understanding. “It’s you, Eugenides.”

The little birds stopped pecking, and they all fell over dead. I had a stomach full of dead birds for a moment as I thought that he meant the river had truly reversed its direction. He only meant that he had been mistaken... about which way it was flowing.

Little birds began to peck in my stomach.
“What’s the matter?” I asked him.
“The river is running the wrong way.”

“Do you mean,” I squawked, “that we are out here in the dark looking for something from a _fairy tale_?”
This is more funny to me than it should be, being a QT fan.

For my part, I wanted Ambiades to understand that I considered myself a hierarchy of one. I might bow to the superior force of the magus and Pol, but I wasn’t going to bow to him. Neither of us moved.

Ah, thank gods, I thought. They’re going to leave me. All I wanted to do was lie in the dry prickly grass with my feet in a ditch forever. I could be a convenient sort of milemarker, I thought. Get to the thief and you know you are halfway to Methana.

Attolia smiled. “You make him sound like more trouble than he is worth.”
“No, said Eddis thoughtfully. “Never more than he is worth.”
