Rosalie Twittering Quote by Lois McMaster Bujold
““I mean,” Rosalie went on in a tone of renewed encouragement, “here’s Vormoncrief, for instance.” “Here is not Vormoncrief,” Ekaterin said firmly, grasping for the one certain anchor in this whirlwind of confusion. “Absolutely not. You’ve never met the man, Rosalie, but take it from me, he’s a twittering idiot. Aunt Vorthys, am I right or not?” The Professora smiled fondly at her. “I would not put it so bluntly, dear, but really, Rosalie, shall we say, I think Ekaterin can do better. There’s plenty of time yet.” “Do you think so?” Rosalie took in this assurance””
