"Isn't that obvious?", says Germaine. "Your fate and that of the woman who floats
are clearly tied."
"So, fate is a shoelace, to trip upon?" asks Kyril.

Folly thinks about that for just an instant before she starts to laugh, appreciatively and infectiously. "Oh, the universe has a strange sense of humor, doesn't it?" she says when she has caught her breath again. "It must take after its father."
"Its enigmatic mother made Random our King," Paige reminds her as the laughter infects her. "She's not exactly innocent, either."
-----------------
An enormous sob rips through Robin and she leans her forehead against Canareth's suffering skin. "I'm sorry, Canareth. I'm sorry." The girl allows herself one sorrowful wail. Then she lifts dread-filled liquid eyes to her brother.

Paige: "Point of order, oh creator of Xanadu. Is the bunny gun going to work up in the woods if I need it to?"

Edan: "If you do find Weyland, and by chance have the opportunityto ask him..."
Brennan's eyes light with faint amusement. "Is Bleys asking me to do him a favor?"

"My Interest is the Protection of Town Abford as I am Cousin to MistressCarper who has Ties here," Brita nods at Morris with this statement. "My Knowledge of the Protector's Business stems from the Fact that he is MyUncle and His Concerns are My Concerns. His Failure would Affect Me andMine as well as Town Abford." She does not indicate how it would affect her.

Garrett looks surprised at that. "Grandfather didn't tell you? Iwould've thought that if you were raised as a prince, you would've known all along. That it would've been part of your training."
Random laughs. "'Training'. Son, one of my dear brothers knighted me whenI was about 25. I was dubbed 'Sir Perfluous'."

"I don't suppose you know how your father managed the trick of making guns work in Amber?" Conner inquired.
Celina registers she has learned another secret of the Amber family. She frowns thinking about Huon and his army but looks to Merlin.
"Yes," Merlin says, but does not elaborate.
