Dr. Henri turned half... «Barrayar»
robot9 мая 2018Dr. Henri turned half around, to speak over his shoulder to Cordelia. “I do thank you for the luncheon invitation, Lady Vorkosigan. It’s a rare privilege to visit the Vorkosigans’ private estate.” “Is it?” said Cordelia. “I know they don’t have crowds, but Count Piotr’s horse friends drop in fairly often. Fascinating animals.” Cordelia thought that over a second, then decided Dr. Henri would realize without being told that the “fascinating animals” applied to the horses, and not Count Piotr’s friends.
