"No one believes a girl this beautiful does not have faerie power. I know she does not, for if she did she would not be in the position she is now in, but convincing the others is impossible. Ignorance is a dangerous thing, Gaius."

"There is no shame to my virginity, but my ignorance distresses me greatly, I fear. I have heard you & Da at night in your bed, but I know not what you do to elicit such sounds. I can only account for the squeaking of the bedsprings." ....I like Lara's no-nonsense approach to sex & slavery.

'But she was beautiful, her father said. Beautiful enough that the Master of the Merchants would pay ten thousand gold cubits for her, & then resell her for more. Lara had not a great deal of experience with life outside the Quarter, but she knew that if her value was that great then her future could be even greater.'
