Lynn Kurland Quote
Stay and ply your needle. I need no hall that stands crooked. I wasn’t going to build it, I was going to help plan it. Impossible. Jessica looked up at him with narrowed eyes. Why? You’re a woman. And what’s that supposed to mean? It means, he said, a dark frown settling on his brow, that women are capable of sewing, bearing children, and making a man’s life hell. And you aren’t even capable of sewing.
