Quotes[]
- “It was difficult to see the exact nature of his expression as, in addition to the ubiquitous mustache, the clockmaker also wore a golden-brown beard of such epic proportions as might dwarf a mulberry bush. It was as though his mustache had become overly enthusiastic and, seized with the spirit of adventure, set out to conquer the southern reaches of his face in a take-no-prisoners kind of way.” (Blameless, Chapter Six)
- “Bland, good as a side dish, but really only palatable when there is nothing better available.” (Blameless, Chapter Six)
