Quotes from Dunnett
[edit | edit source]“You should know … that I am tied to the Hexham Saphronia, who combines total chastity with a jackal-like taste for digging up my family history. With twelve barons Grey to research she should be rendered peacefully harmless, with no sharp quality of heat, either biting the tongue nor offending the head.” Lymond about Philippa in a letter to Lord Grey (Vintage pp. 313-314).
