From The Shield of Light...

“Lida had been raised on a farm and like most farm-folk was used to open fields and a big dome of sky overhead. She was afraid of the forest, especially at night, where unseen predators lurked. But when she had lost her own baby and was summoned to the palace to be wetnurse to the newborn, she quickly learned that predators were everywhere and generally two-legged, and that polished manners and refined clothing often camouflaged predators of the worst kind.”

“…only a virtuous ad courageous man would stand up to an irrational King and voice what everyone was thinking to protect an innocent child.”

“’You are becoming comfortable here. Wait too long and you will forget you were once free.’"
