The Magpie Lord

'Crane was still watching him, with that lazy speculative smile broadening on his tanned, aristocratic handsome face, and Stephen realised that he was watching him right back, staring at the man like an idiot girl.'
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."
― Stephen Fry (on censorship)
