Time Quote by Laurell K. Hamilton
““I should have remembered that your livery is a spider.” He gave a very small smile, which for Doyle was an outrageous amount of expression. “Normally, I would give you time to adjust to my presence, our predicament, but your wards will not hold forever. We must act if you are to be saved.””
