Literature
[edit | edit source]Quotes from Dunnett
[edit | edit source]- 'So what's normal about Nicholas?' Tobie said. 'He likes to look like a halfwit. He has a genius for figures. The Medici bank, how amazing, have discovered it.'
- His hair, the colour of dirt, had become wet during his walk, and was crimped like a spaniel's buttocks.
- 'I am told that Euclid would weep from jealousy.' 'I could make Euclid one of his own' Nicholas said. Julius closed his eyes.
