2_ apri una pagina a caso
3_ scrivi un breve brano (stando attenti a non spoilerare)
4_ scrivi titolo e autore

"There is no lost love between Morgause and myself," he said at last. "And I prefer not to speak of her. Although I did not wield the weapon, she blames me for Lot's death, and perhaps a good deal more. I have taken in Gawain and his younger brother Gaheris because they are my nephews, and are proud, honest young warriors. And I will welcome Agravain and Gareth at court as well, when they are old enough. But their mother must never presume to call upon me as kin. I will not allow it."

"I didn't mean to speak so harshly, Gwen. I... I just can't talk about my sister, that's all. It's not that I want to exclude you... but I have no way to explain about Morgause. And I'd appreciate it if the subject did not come up again."
