Quotes from The War Lord

Chrysagon: From under his right hand, I took that sword. I've lived twenty years with that cold wife.


Priest: Well, now, fertility. Some say it's pagan. But who's not pagan in some matters?
Draco: True, true! I love the speech of scholars.
Priest: These young folks here think of nothing but frolic. "Desist!" I tell them, but they will go a-wantoning. So, lest the Devil take them, I preach them a text from holy writ. "Increase and multiply," I say. "Replenish the earth." And oh! how they obey me.


Chrysagon: [of Bronwyn] She has a calm face.
Draco: So has a cow.
