Sherwood Smith Quote

Well, if he wants to be king, he’ll just plain have to get used to questions and toadies and all the rest of it, I said. Remembering the conversation at dinner and wondering if I’d made an idiot of myself, I added crossly, I don’t have any sympathy at all. In fact, I wish he hadn’t come up here. If he needed rest from the fatigue of taking over a kingdom, why couldn’t he go to that fabulous palace in Renselaeus? Or to Shevraeth, which I’ll just bet has an equally fabulous palace?Nee sighed. Is that a rhetorical or a real question?
