    Summary

    “When I imagine the rest of my life,” she says, “I imagine my arms, and my legs. Rather—I don’t imagine them. Because I am so assured of the fact that they will be there that to spare them a thought seems superfluous. Foolish, even.”

    At last she lifts her chin to gaze into Dorothea’s eyes. Dorothea has heard that gaze called powerful, and lethal, and king-breaking—she has heard that gaze compared to coronet and cataclysm, hex and hatchet—but to her it has always been like the silver snow, belying spring.

    “Would you think me foolish, Dorothea? If I were to wish for such a thing as that?”

    Dorothea answers a very particular question.

    Summary

    At what point is she supposed to understand - before everything went wrong, as the seeds were planted; as it bloomed, locked in its embrace; or after, when the dead can no longer speak for herself?

    Summary

    “Well, Claude,” she says, and, taking his cue, picks the cinnamon bun he brought her up in one hand. “I can’t say I know very well what it’s like in the Alliance, but I must say, you’re not at all what I expected from the son of a fine house.”

    “High praise from the songstress Dorothea,” he says, grinning, and bumps his half-eaten croissant against hers in something resembling a toast. “You’re not so typical yourself.”

    In which two odd birds discover each other.
