Sometimes, life threw up problems that even the wisest, most trusted mentor couldn't solve for you. It was part of the pain of growing up. And having to stand by and watch was part of being a mentor.

Horace, when you get older, try to avoid being saddled with an apprentice. Not only are they a damned nuisance, but apparently they constantly feel the need to get the better of their masters. They’re bad enough when they’re learning. But when they graduate, they become unbearable. [The Kings of Clonmel Pg.268]

I nearly forgot, Ragnak had a further message for you. He said if we lose this battle and loses his slaves as well, he's going to kill you for it, he said cheerfully. Halt smiled grimly.

What the devil is Chocho?' Will whispered. Horace's grin broadened. 'You are. It's what the men call you,' he said. Then he added, 'It's a term of great respect.' Behind them, Halt nodded confirmation. 'Great respect,' he agreed.

She didn't like the fact that she had reduced a man – no matter how evil he might be—to a drooling idiot.

You're not built for riding, either, Horace added. I'd say more saddle sore than homesick. Svenal sighed ruefully, shifting his buttocks for the twentieth time to find a more comfortable spot. It's true, he said. I've been discovering parts of my backside I never knew existed.

Crowley shook his head. I sometimes wonder if it was a good idea having Halt train apprentices. He seems to teach them no respect for authority. Oh, he teaches us to respect authority, Gilan said innocently. He just teaches us to ignore it when necessary.

Several of them were discussing this in low tones as they waited for Halt to arrive - until they realized that he was already among them. They weren't used to this. Kings were supposed to sweep into a room majestically - not suddenly appear without anyone seeing their arrival.

You surely can't be trying to blame us for Erak's habit of charging ashore waving an axe and grabbing everything that isn't nailed down? No offence, Svengal. Svengal shrugged. None taken. It's a pretty accurate description of Erak on a raid, as a matter of fact.

They have terrified my poor wife and threatened my very person! Halt eyed the man impassivley until the outburst was finished. Worse than that, he said quietly, they've wasted my time.
