Thrawn: Why are threesomes only for sex? Why can I not join in on a couple's argument in public if I have a good point to make?
Eli: . . .
Secret Affair… I Imagine this is precisely when Hera happens to call. (Sweet, sweet revenge!)

The Illustrated Book of Manners: A Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments, 1866
I love reading the Septimus Heap books because the writing style is hilarious. The author goes off on paragraphs-long tangents about characters that aren’t even remotely important to the plot! Funny things happen like:
The Dragon Boat lands in the River safely (a very good thing, extremely important to the main plot)
The author (paraphrased): And no one was around to see it, except for 4 old fishermen who are known for telling tall tales, so when they went to the tavern for fishermen (because that exists apparently), nobody believed them. They even convinced themselves that they were just exaggerating, and they didn’t see a dragon in the shape of a boat land in the river. Anyway, back to the actual plot…
