Formal versus Contemporary – A Comparison

The Beltane Choice is set in AD 71 in Brigantia, north Roman Britain.

Yvonne’s Quotes

“Résumé
Razors pain you,
Rivers are damp,
Acids stain you,
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful,
Nooses give,
Gas smells awful.
You might as well live.”
― Dorothy Parker, Enough Rope
