queensthiefHere’s an interesting line from Thick as Thieves…
Be sure you use the smaller brass straight edge–the one that hangs next to the armillary sphere–and press the seams in the paper when you refold it so they are crisp and Relius will not know right away what you have done. - Thick as Thieves, p333 (2017 Hardcover Edition)
HOLD THE PHONE! Wait one second there!
Nahuseresh examined the folding carefully in order to open the papers without tearing them. Each of the folds was crisp and complete. It had not been opened and refolded. He glanced at his secretary, who smiled. - The Queen of Attolia, p70 (2017 Paperback Edition)
Why are you smiling, Kamet? You opened and read that message then pressed the edges back down, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU? How much do you know that Nahuseresh doesn’t even know that you know? You are a little monster and I love you for it!
