Excerpt from The Ambassador's Wife, Vol. 2 of 3

I say this without vanity, and without pride - without reference to beauty or grace, wit or amiability; but simply because convinced that any human being, albeit by circumstance imperial, must grow sick of eternal adulation. Nothing short of a divinity can tolerate perpetual incense.
