Board games Quote by Lisa Kleypas
““Mr. Winterborne," Pandora asked, her blue eyes lively with interest, "where do these board games come from? Who invents them?" "Anyone who designs one could contract a printer to make some copies." "What if Cassandra and I make one?" she asked. "Could we sell it at your store?" "I don't want to make a game," Cassandra protested. "I only want to play them." Pandora ignored her, focusing intently on Rhys. "Come up with a prototype," he told her, "and I'll take a look at it. If I think I can sell it, I'll be your backer and pay for the first printing. In return for a percentage of your profits, of course." "What is the usual percentage?" Pandora asked. "Whatever it is, I'll give you half." Raising one brow, Rhys asked, "Why only half?" "Don't I deserve the in-law discount?" Pandora asked ingenuously. Rhys laughed, looking so boyish that Helen felt her heart quicken. "Aye, that you do.””
