Quote by Betsy Schow

“What manly task may I perform for you?" "If you care for me at all, you'll slay a dragon." "Such a simple task to prove my devotion? For you, I will gladly take up this quest. Why, by the age of ten, I had already felled my first ogre.”

So sit down, grow up, and start acting like the kind of princess your people deserve.” He snapped off the last syllable and abruptly let go at the same time so that I stumbled backward.”
