Rysa Walker Quote

The manager rolls his eyes. Sorry, miss, already picked my dozen— So make it a baker’s dozen, someone yells from the back. Bet she can’t hit the bloody nail anyway. Give us somethin’ to laugh at. That voice is clearly Kiernan’s, and most of the men chuckle.-Kiernan comes back about ten minutes later and takes his seat. Good work.I snort. Don’t give me that. I heard you back there. Just seeding the crowd. A time-honored practice among showmen and politicians alike.
