From beyond her eastern wall, Sivakami hears the young witch's slightly muffled voice: "Move away from my door with your dirty talk!"
The boys escape towards town, yelping with shared fear and collective bravado like skinny yellow pi-dogs.

ReplyDeleteHi Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThose are good teaser sentences! I hope you're having a great summer!
Thank you all for commenting. I am enjoying the book quite a bit. It's a bit long and slow going, but interesting just the same.
ReplyDeleteA pi-dog is a stray dog, I believe. I hadn't heard the term before this book either.
Interesting book title with equally interesting snippets! I think I'll play too but will do that when I'm home. Now leaving for dinner. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your dinner, Alice!
