The Tower of Swallows (The Witcher, #4)

by Andrzej Sapkowski

Might one know, Geralt, what provokes your peals of laughter? Let me hazard a guess… Congenital imbecility?”

Dandelion I love you

certain Gabriel, a craftsman from Verden, had invented and patented a miniature crossbow. He advertised them with the slogan “Defend yourself.” His handbill declared “Banditry and violence are rampant among us. The law is powerless and inept. Defend yourself! Don’t leave home without a handy Gabriel crossbow. A Gabriel is your guardian, a Gabriel will protect you and your dear ones from bandits.” Sales were phenomenal. Soon every bandit packed a Gabriel during robberies.
