See this in the context of the novel’s fascinating coverage of racial and political issues over several generations.

Hopefully we might end up with co-habitation and stricly defined rules. In the meantime, one half shall continue to subsidise the other. I pray that explorers find some high value mineral in the North, which will be a good excuse for partition. Free at last, free at last.....well not quite as there'll be no such miracle. I better get back to patching up the marriage, I do quite like thier princesses, truly regal, born to rule, arrogant as hell, lazy with style, and elegant...Adam will eat the apple!!! Its the absinthe...help me Oga!!!Anonymous[email protected]
