Thought I'd spread the love with a few quotes from the best
book ever written. Good eatin'.
“Hush Hattie!" I said, intoxicated with my success.
"I don't want to go to my room. Everyone must know I shan't marry the
prince." I ran to the door to our street, opened it, and called out into
the night, "I shan't marry the prince." I turned back into the hall
and ran to Char and threw my arms about his neck. "I shan't marry
you." I kissed his cheek. He was safe from me.”

"Would you favor me with a dance?" Over all the
others I was his choice! I curtsied, and he took my hand. Our hands knew each
other. Char looked at me, startled. "Have we met before, Lady?"
He put his hand on my waist, and my heart began
to pound, a rougher rhythm than the music. I held my skirt. Our
free hands met. His felt warm and comforting and unsettling and
bewildering--all at once.
“Do you like to slide?" His voice was eager.
Stair rails! Did he suspect me? I forced a sigh. "No, Majesty. I'm terrrified of heights."
Oh." His poite tone had returned.
....
I wish I could enjoy it. This fear of heights is an affliction."
He nodded, a show of sympathy but not much interest. I was losing him.
Especially," I added, "as I've grown taller.”
