Still feeling weirdly detached from this story... 🙁

"How delightful. We have been added to the mental catalogue of a Bow Street Runner. I can't thank you enough for removing us from our nice, safe, calm mail coach." "Good. You ought to be thanking me." She beamed up at Hugo. ~ gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! I know these "shenanigans" of hers are supposed to be adorable or whatever,but man do I want to punch her...

Hugo gestured towards the dummy. "I thought one fenced with another human if one wanted to gain skill." "Sometimes one just wants to stab things." "In that case, give me the foil ... You are right. Sometimes one needs to stab a tailor's dummy." "It's not the most satisfying thing to stab, but it has the advantage of being legal." 😂 And now I wanna stab a tailor's dummy...

"Say "royal" once more." "Why?" "Because I hadn't got it into my brain that you're a Lord who moves in exalted circles and can do whatever he likes."

Aaaaaaaand there's the reason why I waited for this to go on sale. I forgot how much she annoyed me in book 1...
