"'This Empire is as full of local strife as a rotten apple is of worms.'" (p. 52)
"'Christian against Christian... 'That's nothing new.'" (ibid.)
That analogy of the Empire with a rotten apple is worth quoting just on its own. I can reread Rogue Sword and find passages that I have not quoted or commented on before.
Meanwhile, life calls us away from reading. This weekend, the weather is good and there is a 1940's Festival in Morecambe. Next Tuesday, I will visit Andrea in Morecambe.
Other reading:
SM Stirling's Conan novel should arrive on Monday;
I have started to reread CS Lewis' spiritual autobiography which I regard as relevant every time Poul Anderson's characters refer to God. Any novel implicitly refers to the whole of life. Maybe.

Kaor, Paul!
New York City is often called the Big Apple and also lots of self-inflicted problems brought on by bungling politicians from decades of one-party gov't.
Except, to be strictly accurate, when mayors like Giuliani and Bloomberg held office.
Ad astra! Sean
