Teaser #1

 

"Silence, girl," the Dragon said, and held his hand out towards me. "Take it."

 

"I - what?" I said, more bewildered than if he'd flung it into my face.

 

"Don't stand there like a cretin," he said. "Take it."

Teaser #2

 

"You were going to take her! She's-she's clever, and brave, and a splendid cook, and -"

 

He was looking every moment more annoyed. "Yes," he bit out, interrupting me, "I do recall the girl: neither horse face nor a slovenly mess, and I imagine would not be yammering at me this very minute: enough. Your village girls are all tedious at the beginning, more or less, but you're proving a truly remarkable paragon of incompetence."

 

"Then you needn't keep me!" I flared angry and wounded-horse-face stung.

 

"Much to my regret," he said, "that's where you're wrong."

Pg 23
