Ellen Kushner Quote

I heard it clearly, and so did everyone else, I'll be bound. Your name, dear, not mine. I am very popular. You, it seems, are not.
What a surprise. He dropped petals on the floor. And what a good thing I don't care.
How nice for you that you don't have to.
Meaning, he drawled, that you do.
Just so.
