Being a Prince Carton of Amber Miscellany
Noteworthy sayings of the Prince. Personal accounts of his achievements. Musings on the issues of the day. Frank estimations of his contemporaries. And excuses. Lots and lots of excuses. |
Martin I, King of Amber. There can be no gainsaying that I have my flaws. They had to come from somewhere! Father is like a squirrel who forgot where he buried his nuts. Oh right, Elanora has those.
Dierdre. Pretty dishy for a woman her age! Kind of sorry I got bumped from the apprentice line, if you catch my meaning!
Galen. What strikes me about Galen is - no, let's not pretend.
Dexter. I confess that my dislike of Dexter is motivated by sheer jealousy. No matter how I try, I'll never be as insane as he is.
Mirabelle. You hardly ever see Mirabelle around Amber. So she has that going for her.
Gustav. A prince, and not just literally! While he personally has no flaws, he is the object of one of mine: I am prey to certain fevered fancies from time to time, and have been known to imagine that my older, full brother is somewhat ashamed of me.
Root. My younger (real) brother. Nice kid. Reminds me of that book, The Attention-Deficit Disorder Kid's Book of Seashells and Hey Let's Go Ride Bikes!
Caitlin. Tough. Smart. Witty in a dry way. A major consumer of carpeting if you get my drift.
Grace. Sweet. Bit slow, I think. No idea who her mother is, which means it's not Elanora, which is one for her side right there. Still, we don't all need Dierdre to show us how to find a blue flower around the next bend.
Theodore. The baby of the family. Being king of Munchkinland suits him.
Alexandria. I really don't want to talk about this one.
