Sherwood Smith Quote

You know what I miss? The practice sessions we had when we were riding cross-country last year. I did some practice at home…but there doesn’t seem to be opportunity anymore.We have open practice each day at dawn, in the garrison court when the weather’s fine, the gym when it isn’t. You’re welcome to join us. There’s no hierarchy, except that of expertise, by order of the Marquis himself.The Marquis? I repeated faintly, realizing how close I’d come to making an even worse fool of myself than my spectacular attempts so far.There every day, she said. Others as well--Lady Renna. Duke of Savona there most days, same as Baron Khialem. You wouldn’t be alone. But out loud I just thanked her.
