Intertextual allusions? I lifted an entire sentence from a Creator/DianaWynneJones book and slipped it into ''The Thief''. I stuck in [[Literature/TheDolphinRing a ring]] and a cloak pin from Sutcliff’s Roman Britain. I don’t know if anyone ever gets those references, but I put them in as a link to some of the writing that influenced mine."
-->'''''The Mark of the Horse Lord'', chapter 21:''' "They had taken his dirk, of course—odd that no one ever thought of a brooch with a pin as thick as a corn stalk and longer than a man’s forefinger as a weapon, even in a camp of the Eagles where they learned, just as one did in the Gladiators’ School, that two inches in the right place were enough."
-->'''''The King of Attolia'', chapter 1:''' "They had left his cloak pins, his plain everyday one and his fancy one with the amber bead. He had been a little surprised. His good pin was fibula-shaped with a shaft four inches long and thick as a cornstalk. It would be as effective as a sword, if Costis chose to use it. Even the smaller pin would do; two inches in the right place was all it took."
