== Quotes ==
* "Will this break him?' Anitra's voice was low and soft, with a tremble to the question. Percy was surprised at the very idea. Thought, of course, is powerful. But how can the study and discussion of philosophy destroy a man as tough as Rodrigo Taraotti? Rue was practical and overly honest. 'He's broken already." (Competence, Chapter Six)
* "Rodrigo Tarabotti was, without question, the handsomest man Primrose had ever met." (Competence, Chapter Eight)
