Sometimes when someone tells you not to go somewhere, it’s better not to go there.

I asked Reynolds if she could put the bodyguards on what we’d taken to calling the Unreality List of people that might be magical, members of the demi-monde or suspiciously weird.
“It would save ever so much time,” Reynolds had said when we set it up, “if we just added the population of Florida right at the start.”

I’ll say this for the Queen. She was brave—or possibly stupid. It’s easy to mistake the two.
