What was the joke?That Corbeau (the jump pilot who went naked into the ship with the ba) would be expected to receive his gold medals in the same outfit that he earned them in.

Wasn't even looking for it this time. Just happened to be reading Diplomatic Immunity and stumbled across it.

Book? "Brothers In Arms".

Who is Xxx? Tung.

Who is You? Miles.

This little conversation takes place after Miles' adventures on Earth, meeting both Duv Galeni and the clone who will eventually take on the persona of Mark Vorkosigan.

What book? Paladin of Souls
Who is Xxx? Ista
Who is Xxx talking to? The divine of the Bastard (whose name is escaping me at the moment) that accompanies her on her "pilgrimage".

Clearly I didn't look it up, but I know it's right. Do you want me to look up the divine's name?

A bit longer quote:
"...In return X lends its powers. The acquisition of an X makes one a Y much as the acquisition of a horse makes one a rider, or so I have been taught."
"Very correct." C nodded approval. "It does not, of course, necessarily make one a good rider. That must be learned. Well."

The book?
Who is talking first?
and who second?
What is X?
The Princess Bride.
Not just your basic, average, everyday, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum fairy tale.

"It's a wondrous transmutation, where the blood of one man is turned into the money of another. Lead into gold is nothing to it."
