"I still feel sorry. I am seized with the compulsion to tell you so, repeatedly, until I get it out of my system."

"Please do not. Young women apologize too much already. It's an awful habit, and I'll break you of it if I can."

"Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry for saying I'm sorry."

"Are you joking with me?"

"Yes, ma'am," I halfway lied.

The quote is from the book, Brimstone by Cherie Priest
The ink is from Pilot Iroshizuku To-Ro (Warm Lantern)

This is a lovely color but is very close to the Tiger Lily from Birmingham Pen Co. that I shared last week. A bit too light for me but I love yellow so I keep trying them.

I like Priest’s steam punk alternate histories better but this was a fun, quick read.
