Lois McMaster Bujold:
In the World of the Five Gods, we know that a sorcerer who kills with magic will lose his/her demon to the Bastard. Imagine that the sorcerer uses magic to weaken a component of a bridge; the bridge collapses and people die. Does it make a difference whether the collapse happens immediately, 5 seconds later, 5 minutes later, 5 hours later, 5 days later? Apologies if this is already answered somewhere.

Hi Lois...I just finished "Dangerous Liaisons" (the book, although seeing the movie inspired the reading), and I was wondering if it had any influence on your backstory for Aral's first wife and her affairs in the capital amongst "not altogether vicious" older people. Or were these ideas in the air, or in your romance reading of the time?
