@thatiliazdguy.bsky.socialKate, as if for a more final opinion than had yet been asked of her, took a moment to think.
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"In Lord Mark's genius?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social"And do you believe in that?"
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.social*The* thing's his genius."
@thatiliazdguy.bsky.socialBesides, he's grand enough, with a duke in his family and at the other end of the string.
