Accused Quote by Patrick Rothfuss
““He then proceeded to shout at Alpha and Beta, a sign that he was in a genuine good mood. They took it as calmly as ever, in spite of the fact the he accused them of things I'm sure no donkey has ever willingly done, especially Beta, who possessed impeccable moral character.””
