-Sherlock Holmes”
― Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet

“Rahtan, Ten, Shadowmaker, no title you hold is going to make me change my mind on this one,' he had growled to me under his breath as we got our gear together.

In her bones, she was a poor, provincial peasant who had risen far above her station.”
― Emma Theriault, Rebel Rose
