In Komarr, there is a scene where Miles pursuades Nikki to leave the bathroom by telling him that he once employed a ten-year-old girl. Was this covered in one of the earlier books? I am wracking my brain and can't seem to remember it, familiar as it sounds.

Nope, that's a throw-away line, on the order of the politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant. (A classic example from the Sherlock Holmes stories.) Not every Dendarii assignment/escapade was covered in the stories, as they ran over some ten years.

I'm finishing my second read of the Vorkosigan Saga and loving A Civil Campaign—it’s been a while since a book made me laugh this much! Quick question: Did the comconsoles emerge because mobile smartphones didn't yet exist, or was it intentional to keep the internet "as a place" (like desktop computers)? Thank you :)
