In The Game of Kings, who gave these descriptions of Lymond, and to whom were they speaking?

1. “ … some murderous brute with a black mask”
2. “That hair! He was born to wreck us, body and soul, that one.”
3. “ … this wild cormorant, this acidulous osprey”
4. “He was a nice monk”
5. “ … that honey-faced de’il”
6. “ … Lymond is more perceptive than you are.”
7. “ … the infallible Lymond, with success at the end of each of his pretty fingers … ”
8. “ … Lymond is not quite the drunken renegade of the legend.”
9. “ … a swack, smert yin on a chestnut.”
10. “Blond, blue-eyed, rapacious and polyglot.”
