Sherwood Smith Quote
Innon and I, who were seated side by side at the far end of the long table from Uncle Darian, tried to outdo each other in snobbish manners. I don't even know how it started. I was conscientiously lifting my punch glass, curling my pinky, and I caught his eye. Then he did it, too, but his pinky was much more curled—and the game was on.Father was so pleased he smiled at us. What a disgusting pair Innon and I made! Peitar's eyes narrowed with skeptical humor, but the adults paid no attention, just kept talking and laughing in well-bred voices, as the painted eyes of past kings and queens looked down on us.
