“Halt regarded him. He loved Horace like a younger brother. Even like a second son, after Will. He admired his skill with a sword and his courage in battle. But sometimes, just sometimes, he felt an overwhelming desire to ram the young warrior's head against a convenient tree. "You have no sense of drama or symbolism, do you?" he asked.

Luckily for Horace, there were none in sight.” SometimesYoungDesireFeltUnderstandingTreeSonBrotherDramaBattleSkillsSightWarriorOverwhelmingConvenientHaltSymbolismRamsYounger BrotherOverwhelming Desire Author:John Flanagan
