Sherwood Smith Quote
Did you really think you could take a few hundred ill-trained village people into war and expect anything but defeat?I opened my mouth to retort, then realized I’d be spoiling what little strategy we did have.But then he said wryly, Or did you expect the rest of the kingdom to follow your heroic example and rise up against the King?Which is, of course, exactly what we expected.
