And, a bit of a snippet from Sharon Lee's current WIP:
Quote:
It was, in fact, the thought of that next appointment that prompted her to say, "Thank you for your care, sir. May I deliver this packet the master trader sends to you?"
She offered it across both palms, as if it were a dueling pistol, which was an impertinence, whether the man before her knew it or not.
"Since it's here, I might as well have it," he said, taking the packet up with a frown. "I'll expect to see the master trader himself, the next time I write."
"I will tell him you said so, sir," Padi said truthfully.
