Failure Quote by Robin Hobb
““Badgerlock, I rather think …" "Prince FitzChivalry," I corrected him. I looked him up and down. "And do not make that mistake again." "Prince FitzChivalry," he accepted the correction. He opened his mouth and then shut it again. I turned away from him, holding his horse’s reins and Thick’s. "That wasn’t the mistake," I said without looking back. "I meant your trying to think.””
