"But she didn't come get me when I was curled up in my room content to wither and die. Nor did she threaten to kill Andrew for hurting me. Nor do I trust her to handle me when I'm feeling peckish or angry or sullen. She didn't come with me to see the Queen of the O.Z. Nor does she teach me how to defend myself. And I seriously doubt she'd take the news that I've jammed a bundle of pain and misery down a man's brainpipe well at all."

His smile was rather wry and more than a little tired.
"She's far too nice for me. You should know that."
