Naomi Novik Quote

When they had dismounted, he indulged himself in a shudder of his whole body. That is more than I undertake to do again!' --this to the admiral, in reproachful tones. Those two monstrously large beasts! Going right up to them like that and dangling their captains in front of them just as if to say, look what I have got, ha ha! I am all astonishment they did not leap upon me at once. I hope they did not get a clear look at me. If they ever saw me again I am sure they would not let it pass.I beg you not to repine upon it, Laurence said. Temeraire understands well that orders must be obeyed, and will not hold it against you; he knows it was not in your power to deliver us to him. Well, but it was, Souci said, not conciliated, and Granby said nothing reassuring at all. Iskierka allow of assurances of her behavior, good, evil, or otherwise.
