The Queen's Pride was his ship, and he loved her. (That was the way his sentences always went: It is raining today and I love you. My cold is better and I love you. Say hello to Horse and I love you. Like that.)

About This Quote

The Queen's Pride was his ship, and he loved her. (That was the way his sentences always went: It is raining today and I love you. My cold is better and I love you. Say hello to Horse and I love you.

Like that.) He loved the Queen's Pride, the ship he used to run illegal operations for the Black-Tie Brigade, because it was fast, powerful, fast, dangerous. It was the ship he had named after his mother, The Queen's Ship. Though he had long outgrown this small-time piracy, he still felt like a little boy sitting there in the pilot's seat of The Queen's Ship.

He loved her because she gave him an identity beyond his terrible childhood.
