Book?
Who said?
To whom?
About what?

The Warrior's Apprentice
Miles
To his grandfather the Count Piotr Vorkosigan
Miles had just failed his physical test to get in to the military academy and the Count suspected foul play on the part of the "plebs".

"I'm not much of a reader," said X. "I brought my course material."

Book?
Who is X?
To whom is this said?

Falling Free

X= Leo (Graf)
speaking to Dr Yei, the psychologist.

Yup; your turn!

"(...) XXX gets a tip-off that his old man was murdered by the uncle. Unfortunately, he can't tell if his informant is telling truth or lies. So he spends the next five acts blundering around getting nearly the whole cast killed while he dithers."

Who is describing a play to whom?
In which book?

Optional quesiton:
If you want you can say who is XXX/ what play is being described.

But you wont get a half point bonus for that...

Miles to Nikki, Ekaterin's son
Civil Campagne

Hamlet

That was fast!

You are correct as usual, but only one sherlock and the next quote. Hamlet was already found on another thread. So now I have given my source and given the exact quote. I ahd to change it a bit there so it was not so obviously a play.

He must have been stalking me this whole time. I think I'm going to throw up. Have I just claimed to be brilliant, or incredibly stupid?

Book?
Who is he?
Who is I?

Is it:

Miles, Mark, and Brother in Arms?

Book? The Vor Game
Who is he? Stanis Metzov
Who is I? Miles, after he paraded around Aslunder station with Admiral Oser, and got sniped at by Metzov. (Recognized the quote at once, but couldn't remember Stanis-darling's last name without looking it up.)

Suzette

Yes

. Stanis-darling would be correct answer, also

I'm surprised by your taste, as far as men are concerned. I did not imagine you so like Cavilo

SPetty · Post by **SPetty** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 10:01 pm

Not much like Cavilo, but the "Stanis-darling" stuck in my head far longer than Metzov.

"The Jacksonians will sell anything to anyone. Xxx made enough enemies there in some of our old sorties- if they knew it was intended for xxx, they'd probably offer a deep discount."

What book?
Who is speaking?
Who is Xxx (xxx is a pronoun related to Xxx)?

In fact that was meant for RK!

She was the one who said that "Stanis-darling" was OK!

"The Jacksonians will sell anything to anyone. Xxx made enough enemies there in some of our old sorties- if they knew it was intended for xxx, they'd probably offer a deep discount."

What book? Winterfair Gifts
Who is speaking? Taura speaking to Roic
Who is Xxx (xxx is a pronoun related to Xxx)? Miles

However, since I will shortly be away for two weeks and won't be able to do the follow up on the answers, I suggest you (Suzette) post another one (and I promise I won't answer it, even if I know the answer!)

SPetty · Post by **SPetty** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 8:36 am

Correct, a sherlock to you, and here's the next quote:

"I don't trust you, Xxx."
"Well, you're stuck with me.I can't be removed except by the Emperor's own Voice which appointed me, or a three-quarters vote of impeachment by the Council of Counts and the Council of Ministers in full joint session assembled, something I don't think you can arrange."

Which book?
Who's speaking first?
Who is Xxx?

SPetty · Post by **SPetty** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 9:11 am

I thought for sure the addition would make it a lot easier to place.

In the interest of speeding things up, I'll add a little more:

"I don't trust you, Xxx."
"Well, you're stuck with me.I can't be removed except by the Emperor's own Voice which appointed me, or a three-quarters vote of impeachment by the Council of Counts and the Council of Ministers in full joint session assembled, something I don't think you can arrange."
"Then it would be quite useless for me to go to Gregor and request a different Auditor for this case."

I hope that gets some responses. I get a little disappointed when I keep seeing my name as the most recent post.

[quote="Ghost"]If no one guesses after a week or so the quote becomes â€œfrozenâ€

Sorry, been away from the forum for awhile.

"I don't trust you, Xxx."
"Well, you're stuck with me.I can't be removed except by the Emperor's own Voice which appointed me, or a three-quarters vote of impeachment by the Council of Counts and the Council of Ministers in full joint session assembled, something I don't think you can arrange."

The book is Memory
The first speaker is General Harouche
He is speaking to Miles (Xxx)

Quite all right.

Correct, you get a sherlock, and you get to post the next quote!

He had a distressing urge to giggle. That would hurt. More. . .

Book?
Who was he?
Why would it hurt?

risi · Post by **risi** » Thu May 01, 2008 7:41 am

Hint: he is not Miles...

I think you're allowed to answer after 5 days... by my count that was this morning. So go ahead!
