Children of Earth And Sky
“He thought of images that applied: headwinds, lawsuits, dried ink clogging, burnt food, flooding, ambitious councillors, constipation.
Ambitious councillors causing constipation.
This windy night in spring was becoming such a time. Braced as he was for the unexpected after years in office, it was not especially startling to learn that the woman before them was quicker, and much more alert to what they were doing, than the man beside her.
The doctor, it appeared, was a step-by-step f...ellow. Perhaps useful in a physician but awkward just now. His grasp of matters appeared to be stuck like a gun-wagon on a road after heavy rain. (The duke was briefly pleased, he was arriving at excellent phrases tonight, if nothing else.) The woman was otherwise. She had been investigated, interviewed twice, only then recruited to the service of the republic from one of the sequestered retreats of the Daughters of Jad. She was of an aristocratic family (from Mylasia down the coast), was obviously intelligent (too much so?), and sufficiently high-spirited as to have required being placed with one of the religious houses, for the usual reason.MoreLess
