“The secret to being a rider in the hippodrome wasn't just that you must be agile, or that you must be good with horses, or that you must be strong and steady as the horse careens to the far end of the arena and back with you riding on its back.

It is, on reflection, good training to be a courtesan. A woman of any kind.”
― Alexander Chee, The Queen of the Night
