    'Why should that stick in my head? Just because a tool I have used, and shall use again, turned, as it were, under my hand last week and said it? And what more had he said? Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.' (p.86)

    A conversation which comes to a head, and some thoughts on the nature of tools.

    Summary

    He brushes kisses across her knuckles, across her wedding ring, across her terribly pale skin. “My hair was a tad bit darker then, of course.”

    “It would have been silvered and white eventually, dearest, with age. Wasn’t that, too, our dream? We’ve just come to it a bit sooner than most.”

    Oh, there must be something he can do, something he can offer...

     

    “Later.—Our opinion was justified, for when after a refreshing sleep of some hours she woke up, she seemed brighter and better than she had been for days.” - Dr. Seward’s diary, October 25th.

    The curve of his jaw reminds her of a trail of kisses, down a throat adorned with the most cruel of jewels that could be bestowed upon a woman.

     

    “You’re her son,” she breathes, and her voice trails off.

    OR

    Three times Mordaunt's face reminds people of someone.

    Summary

    But beyond the stench of a doll forgotten in a dusty closet, Madeleine had learnt to recognize the sweet perfume of the flowers of the gardens of Amiens. She had feasted on the sweet aroma one too many nights spent consoling the grieving sovereign, had explored every pore of her skin and gotten so intoxicated that she had come to forget that after a good night of drinking, one was only left with pain and a deep-bone exhaustion and only the fleeting memories of happiness.

    Oh, how she wished they could remain that way forever, be it as a loyal confidante and her sovereign, or as a mistress and her docile servant.

    Summary

    He's always going to be there... whether the world likes it or not, and he wouldn't have it any other way in the end.
    The 1964 movie Cyrano et d'Artagnan had the unmitigated gall to have Cyrano survive the end of his play, and you can't just give me that information without expecting me to do something with it.

    Summary

    They call him Cal at school. They call him Cal at church. They call him Cal at home - "Caleb", sometimes, if his father is feeling stern, which is more often than Cal would like it to be.

    He calls himself "monster" in the privacy of his head. Because that is what he is.
