Gregory Maguire
So he stalked her again. Love makes hunters of us all.
Gregory Maguire
She's sent the crows out to blind the guests coming for dinner! What? She's BLINDING THE GUESTS COMING FOR DINNER! Well, that's one way to avoid having to dust, I suppose.
Gregory Maguire
It isn't whether you do it well or ill, it's that you do it all.
Gregory Maguire
They moved together, blue diamonds on a green field.
Gregory Maguire
I shall pray for your soul,' promised Nessarose. I shall wait for your shoes,' Elphie answered.
