“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

“You are very clever," said the old man shyly. "I would like to eat your brains, one day."
For some reason the books of etiquette that Daphne's grandmother had forced on her didn't quite deal with this.

Daphne, cursed with good manners, settled for "It's very kind of you to say so.”
