“It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation.

And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”

“Falconers,” she continued, sternly. “Pull yourselves together. People are dying. The police don’t have the family history to solve murders forty years apart.”
