“Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can’t trade for your heart’s desire is your heart.” [p. 415]

It's a very long time since I first read this -- which I suspect was just after Komarr was published -- and I had, as usual, forgotten nearly everything about it. Reread because I realised it was something of a boundary between the early, more militaristic novels in the Vorkosigan saga and the later, more comic / romantic / sociological works. Also I wanted to remind myself of what happened to Simon Illyan.
