Reason #325 why I don't write novels:
The actual passage of the book I'm reading "Last Man Standing" by David Baldacci reads as thus:
Web looked at the horse and said, "She's a beauty."
"It's a he."
"Sorry, didn't check the equipment. Didn't want to embarrass anybody."
She patted the horse's neck. "Baron doesn't mind, do you? Secure in your masculinity, aren't you?"
"We should all be so lucky."
Simple dialogue between two people ... only in my world animals talk ...
