1 " It was a look that gave her a tingle, all right, but not in a good way. In that look she saw her silly bloody hopes as twisted and broken as she’d left that Lowlander’s arm, and it was no one’s fault but her own.

5 " Grom-gil-Gorm," she said softly as she rode between Laithlin and Yarvi. "Breaker of Swords." Mother Isriun's horse shied back out of her way. "Maker of Orphans." Thorn reined in beside him, his frowning face lit red by the blazing light of her elf-bangle, and she leaned from her saddle to whisper.

9 " Did you see it?" asked Yarvi.
"I had that questionable privilege."
"What do you think?"
"She is wretched. She is all pride and anger. She has too much confidence and too little. She does not know herself." The figure pushed back her hood. A black-skinned old woman with a face lean as famine and hair shaved to gray fuzz. She picked her nose with one long forefinger, carefully examined the results, then flicked them away "The girl is stupid as a stump. Worse. Most stumps have the dignity to rot quietly without causing offense."

10 " Fear not, my doves!" Thorn jumped as someone flung an arm around her shoulders. The strange woman who had watched Thorn fight Brand a few days before thrust her gray-stubbled skull between her and her mother. "For the wise Father Yarvi has placed your daughter's education in my dextrous hands."

The woman hugged them tighter, her smell a heady mix of sweat, incense, herbs and piss. "It's where I teach and you learn."
"And who . . . " Thorn's mother gave the ragged woman a nervous look, "or what . . . are you?"
"Lately, a thief." When that sharpened nervousness into alarm she added brightly, "but also an experienced killer! "

Aztán, ahogy múlnak az évek, ezek a lányok sézp sorjában a hozzájuk jobban illő foglalatosságok felé fordulnak. Aki marad, azt később ezen foglalatosságok felé fordítják, majd ordítva, gúnyolva és végül akár verve is arra terelik, míg a káros gyomot mind kiirtják, és nem marad más, csak a férfiasság dicső virágai.

Az istenek voltak a megmondhatói, hogy sok rossz döntést hozott már életében, de mind közül ez volt a legnagyobb baromság. Fene enné a fényben állást, amikor feküdhetne a melegben is. "
