Provost's Dog Quotes

Tunstall- But she's our puppy Inknose. If we let her fetch you, she'd just hurt you.

Aniki- Who needs handsome idiots when we can have kitties?

Ahuda- Great Mithros bless us you actually caught her.
Beka (thinking)- Wasn't catching what I was supposed to do?

Mage Berryman- I was meditating on a very important spell!
Tunstall- Then put out a warning sign before you take your nap!

Beka- The Lower City is mine. Its people are mine- its children are mine. If I find them that's doing all this kidnapping and murdering, they'd best pray for mercy. Because once I get my teeth in 'em, I will never let them go.

Rosto (about Beka's bruises)- I'll kiss them and make them better
Beka- Try and I'll bruise you. Then Aniki and Kora can kiss you better.

Beka-Thus went my first Court Day. I think I’m going to puke.

Beka- If the realms values us enough to make the law and the penalties like we have, I must value us Dogs enough to catch them as breaks the law.

Dale- No, no--curse it, Beka, you're the prickliest woman I've ever met!     Goodwin- No, I am. But she comes very close, I have to say.

Goodwin- The skinny gixie in red is on our rumps again. And Haden is behind her. At this rate, Cooper, we shall have a parade."

Okha- Beka, what are you up to? You're making me worry.                          Beka- I'm keeping myself busy till Goodwin comes back.                                                                        

Okha- Are you? Beka, the Corus Rogue is a delightful, sane fellow who understands the world. Our Rogue is mad with greed and power and she's stupid. She thinks that no one lives who can stop her. 

Beka- It's not my job to stop her. I collect information, only that. Yes, Pearl will meet her match, but it won't be a junior Dog like me. It'll be the law, resting in the hands of a whole squad of hard, senior Dogs.

Beka speaking to Farmer:

I frowned at him. “Do you ever think of anything but eating?” I asked, feeling cranky. “I can stop,” he replied, and gave me that silly grin—upside down, because I sat beside the carter. “After I’ve eaten.” He waved at his long body. “Look how much of me there is to feed. My poor old ma had to sell two of my brothers to manage it.” “She never,” I told him. “Oh, right. I didn’t have brothers. But she would have, I was that big of an eater,” Master Farmer assured me.

Farmer- I don’t think I’ve heard you say so many words in the entire time I’ve known you. Is it because you’re tired? Is there something in the lamb cakes, or the marsh air?

Beka’s Journal - The valley of the vile, poxy, sarden marsh

Lady Sabine- My family had me attend three of the Gentle Mother’s services four years ago. Then I threatened to become a prostitute at the temple of the Mother of Delight. After that, I was left to be ungentle.

When Beka meets Countess Aeldra of Queensgrace:

If her rump were any stiffer, she’d break it every time she rides, I thought to Pounce. If she fell on the steps, they would never be able to put her together again, he replied.

Pounce- If she tries to handle Beka so roughly again, I will help myself to a piece of her skin.

Beka interacting with her new horse:

I stroked his neck, then blew carefully into his nostrils to make his acquaintance. "Treat her well, peasant, or you will deal with me," Pounce called from his throne. The horse very carefully turned until his rump faced Pounce, raised his tail, and let fall a great pile of manure. He stopped, waited for a moment, then did the same again, as deliberately as Pounce would have done himself. "Insolent mortal," Pounce grumbled.
