"Dumas' characters were idiots, too!" I thought about it and realized he was right. Brusts characters were young, with good tailoring, exquisite manners, and sharp swords in whose use they were expert. What need had they for brains?

I didn't mean ALL of Brust's books. Just you know the one in the topic My Own Kind of Freedom.
