Dorothy Dunnett Quote
Why did you decide to join me?Why … ? repeated Redhead, needing time to think.Word of three letters, said Lymond. Come along, for God’s sake: no need to let me have it all my own way. What was it? Rape, incest, theft, treason, arson, wetting the bed at night …… Or burning my mother alive, said the other sarcastically.Oh, be original at least.
