Quote by Tanith Lee

“YOU SEE,” screamed the Buzzle as it took them on a guided tour of the castle some twenty minutes later. “IT’S QUITE NICE FOR ME TO MEET SOMEBODY FROM OUTSIDE, AND YOU A PRINCE AND ALL.” “And the horse,” put in the Prince politely. “OH, HORSES AREN’T ANY GOOD.

And besides, I need you help, and you may not come back.”

“Annis's ennui lightened, too, when she saw the matched pair of white horses in the traces of the Rosefield carriage. She thought they must be Andalusians, like the mare she had met in Regent's Park, though these were bigger, with heavier hindquarters, larger heads, and a more pronounced curve to the nose.

When they set out, she was delighted to feel their power and to note the steadiness of their gait.”
