Twilight Magic (2007)
““Are you sure you wish to travel all the way to Camelen? ’Tis far out of your way.”

She had to smile. “I had the experience of a siege as a girl, but I was on the inside of the castle, with barely a break in my daily activities. We could not go outside the walls, of course, which did not bother me overmuch.”

“My thanks, Philip. I am sure Gwendolyn will seek assurance of my well-being. Pray let her know I do not lack for anything.”
“So I will.”MoreLess
