A senator thinks that his client has a:
"Lean and hungry look..."
-CHAPTER SIX, p. 100 -
- anticipating Shakespeare.
A farmer who finds it hard to adjust to the urgency of saving and investing in new equipment says:
"'...all the Gods damn it, you have to run fast these days just to stay in the same place!'"
-CHAPTER ELEVEN, p. 158 -
- anticipating the Red Queen's Race in Alice Through The Looking Glass.
Realistically, Artorius has to face an angry crowd of people displaced by the nova res ("new things") but is able to offer them alternatives: land grants with financial help or new employment with good wages. At this early stage, the economy is still expanding in such a way that the displaced can be not replaced but relocated. (I just thought of that way of putting it now.) This is in CHAPTER TEN on pp. 138-139.
Jeremy thinks:
"'Lay on, MacDuff..."
-CHAPTER SEVEN, p. 107 -
- more Shakespeare, but, in this case, Jeremy remembers it.
Artorius corrects Jeremy's "'The game is afoot, Batman!'" with "'The game is afoot, Watson...'" in CHAPTER ELEVEN on p. 166.
The Batman is a great detective and there are stories in which they meet.
After tracking down those references, your friendly neighbourhood blogger needs a food and drink break.
