Frances Hardinge Quotes
This Was Why He Had Become A Master Thief, To Achieve This Theft Of Thefts, This Masterpiece Of Larceny. All The Time, Fascinating And Terrible Caverna Had Been His Goal. Whilst Other Cartographers Had Sighed In Vain After The Beauty Of Her Treacherous Geography, He Had Decided To Win Her With Cunning And Threats.
All Along Caverna Had Been His Opponent And His Prize, And She Had Never Suspected It For A Moment. He Had Fooled Her, Fought Her And Defeated Her. She Would Be Furious, No Doubt, Would Hate Him, Rail Against Him And Look For Ways To Destroy Him, But He Had Outmanoeuvred Her And Now She Had No Choice But To Play Things His Way. Unlike Her Earlier Favourites, He Was Her Lord, Not A Plaything To Be Tossed Aside When She Was Bored.
And Yet, For The First Time In Ten Years, He Found Himself At Something Of A Loss. I Have Succeeded. I Have Won. I Rule The City. I Wonder What I Was Planning To Do With It?
