Robert Jordan
These? Mat said, gesturing to his coat and shirt. I really have no idea. They were just down there. I'm completely baffled. He had been very pleased to learn that Seanchan guards-for all their stoic expressions and too-straight backs-responded to bribes like other people.
Robert Jordan
Loial, son of Arent, son of Halen, had secretly always wanted to be hasty.
Robert Jordan
You have to understand, child. Everyone wants someone in their life, someone who cares for them, someone they can care for. Even a queen.
Robert Jordan
