Daniel’s Quotes

“In Iowa—in safe, bland Muscatine—Gertrude fell ill, an accident of nature. The disease proved fatal. Holmes told Ned how sorry he was to hear of her passing, but in his eyes there was only a flat blue calm, like the lake on a still August morning.”

He remembers the dappling of their garments, the streaks of darkness where they had wiped the queen’s blood on their robes.”
― Hilary Mantel, The Mirror & the Light
