Libba Bray Quote
Kartik places a sovereign in the lady's cup, and I know that it's likely all he has.Why did you do that? I ask.He kicks a rock on the ground, balancing it nimbly between his feet like a ball. She needed it.Father says it isn't good to give money to beggers. They'll only spend it unwisely on drink or other pleasures. She might buy ale with it.He shrugs. Then she'll have ale. It isn't the pound that matters; it's the hope...I know what it's like to fight for things that others take for granted.
