Mistresses, have you ever noticed that when we disagree with a male- I hesitate to say 'man'- or find ourselves in a position over males, the first comment they make is always about our reputations or...
She glared at him. Why are you forever asking hard questions?
Don't let him upset you, Niko told the four softly. He's old and he's frightened.

What has to do with the price of peas in Persopolis?
Thus went my first Court Day.I think I'm going to puke.
