She smiled, and it was as if the sun shone into that dim room. "The little people will stop where they are, now. I do not like them. And you, girl. You will sleep too."

I don't remember much about the issue itself; all I remember is Charlotte. Hair wild and tawny, eyes provocative, smiling like she knew all the secrets of life, and she was keeping them close to her naked chest. The text said that she was nineteen.

"We travel to the capital," said the tallest dwarf, who was no bigger than a child, and has no beard. "Is there plague in the capital?" ""It is not plague," said the sot by the window, whose beard was long and gray, and stained yellow with beer and wine. "It is sleep, I tell you."

Sometimes you finish a book (Thornhedge) that just came out (it's still release day) and you're completely filled with feelings and gratitude that you got to read something so sweet and wholesome and then you remember the author also lives here (hey @tkingfisher I love you) and can encourage her to keep writing because it matters, and it makes other people's lives better. If you see this, thanks, Ursula. I really needed it today ♥️
