"“Oh shit!” was my exclamation. My wife, in the other room, was very concerned. When I explained myself she was relieved that it wasn’t an emergency, but quickly grew bored with my recitation.
A character just stepped forth and I was completely shocked when I recognized him! he has not been named yet. I am grinning ear to ear. I haven’t felt like this in a long time.
Good on you, Mr. Feist!" — May 31, 2026 08:31PM

“What a fabulous kingdom the mind is, and you the emperor of all of it. You can bed the duke's wife and have the duke strangled in your mind. A crippled man can think himself a dancer, and an idiot can fool himself wise. The day a magicker peeks into the thoughts of commoners for some thin-skinned duke or king will be a bad day. Those with callused hands will rise on that day, for a man will only toil in a mine so long as he can dream of sunny fields, and he'll only kneel for a tyrant if he can secretly cut that tyrant's throat in the close theater of his bowed head.”

"Aye," squeaked Tosho, "for what he had you do to me, do as Krak says, and strike his blasphemous head from his loathsome shoulders!”
