Naomi Novik Quote

Well, I only wish you may all not have your throats slit by Uygurs, Riley said in deep pessimism, giving up, after he had tried once more at dinner to persuade them to remain. . . I will not let anyone slit your throats at all, Temeraire said, a little indignantly. Although I would like to see an Uygur; is that a kind of dragon?A kind of bird, I think, Granby said; Laurence was doubtful, but he did not like to contradict when he was not sure himself.Tribesmen, Tharkay said, the next morning.Oh. Temeraire was a little disappointed; he had seen people before. That is not very exciting, but perhaps they are very fierce? he asked hopefully.Have you enough money to buy thirty camels? Tharkay asked Laurence, after he had finally escaped a lengthy interrogation as to the many other prospective delights of their journey, such as violent sandstorms and frozen mountain passes.
