#элайза_цитатаНекоторые цитаты из книги Phoenicia Rogerson ‘Herc’, которые меня позабавили:‘I hardly think you’re in a position to be casting insults.’

‘I would have let you go, you know. After all this. You didn’t have to resort to threats.’
‘And I never needed threats to convince me to keep you alive. Yet you still made them.’
