第2章 Epigraph

"… Never tell all you feel, or (a better way still), feel very little…

at any rate never have any feelings which may make you

uncomfortable, or make any promises which you cannot at any required moment command and withdraw. That is the way to get on…"

William Makepeace Thackeray: Vanity Fair

1847

"Wer spricht von Siegen? überstehen ist Alles."

Rainer Maria Rilke: Requiem, für Wolf Graf von Kalckreuth

1908

"The warriors are dead. The warriors died in two world wars.

Those who remain are the barterers. They know the price of

coffee and cocoa and sugar and flour in a defeated country."

Kay Boyle: The Lovers of Gain

1950

That last one? Not likely. Professor Murphy hates Runt and is actively trying to fail him. The only way for Runt to pass the class and stay at Dr. Critchlore's school is to locate a rare mineral that Dr. Critchlore needs to make an Undefeatable Minion.

    Done Dirt Cheap

    Tourmaline Harris's life hit pause at fifteen, when her mom went to prison because of Tourmaline's unintentionally damning testimony. But at eighteen, her home life is stable, and she has a strong relationship with her father, the president of a local biker club known as the Wardens. Virginia Campbell's life hit fast-forward at fifteen, when her mom "sold" her into the services of Hazard, a powerful attorney: a man for whom the law is merely a suggestion. When Hazard sets his sights on dismantling the Wardens, he sends in Virginia, who has every intention of selling out the club—and Tourmaline. But the two girls are stronger than the circumstances that brought them together, and their resilience defines the friendship at the heart of this powerful debut novel.
