Where was that silly little trollop? She’d searched every hallway and every room.

How dare she claim that the king thought she was:

“…The fairest of them all?”

“Watch where you’re going, you ugly old crone!”

“HAVE YOU EATEN?”

“Doubt is poison. It leads to a loss of faith in yourself, and in all that’s good and true.” — Dean Koontz.
