Tamora Pierce Quote
Onua smiled. She knew an old grievance when she heard one. Then why wear ’em? Get yourself breeches and a shirt like me. Daine gaped at her. Men’s gear? With folk talking about me all the time as is? Onua shook her head. You’re not home now. The rules have changed. Daine opened her mouth to object—then closed it. She looked at her skirts. To be rid of them, and the petticoats . . . it hit her, really hit her, that she was free of Snowsdale. What could they do to her now?
