Hands together Quote by Warren Ellis
““Now,” he said, snapping the black blade open, “we have destroyed the teeth, crushed the face, and obliterated the fingerprints. And we have not been caught. We can therefore proceed with the first stage of carcass disposal. Fluid drainage.” Amanda placed her hands together so quickly that they almost clapped. “Ooh,” she said.””
