“At one o’clock, the ever-logical Right-Eye Grand Steward woke up to discover that during his sleep his left-eyed counterpart had executed three of his advisors for treason, ordered the creation of a new carp pool and banned limericks. Worse still, no progress had been made in tracking down the Kleptomancer, and of the two people believed to be his accomplices, both had been released from prison and one had been appointed food taster. Right-Eye was not amused. He had known for centuries that he could trust nobody but himself. Now he was seriously starting to wonder about himself.” PeopleMadeStillsTwoEyeThreeLeftSleepKnownWonderProgressCenturyCreationPrisonStartingClockLogicalPoolTreasonAmusedBannedCounterpartsStewardsAdvisorsAccomplicesTrackingLimerickCarpTrust Nobody Book:A Face Like Glass Source: A Face Like Glass
“Mosca said nothing. The word ‘damsel’ rankled with her. She suddenly thought of the clawed girl from the night before, jumping the filch on an icy street. Much the same age and build as Beamabeth, and far more beleaguered. What made a girl a ‘damsel in distress’? Were they not allowed claws? Mosca had a hunch that if all damsels had claws they would spend a lot less time ‘in distress’.” IfsMadeSaidAgeNightGirlStreetsDistressJumpingClawsIcyHunchesDamsel In Distress Book:Twilight Robbery Source: Twilight Robbery
