Quote #7
And these dying people called him a liar, but Partridge couldn't tell whether they hated him because of the truth he told about his father or this new lie—marrying Iralene. (14.12)
Or maybe, people hate Partridge because he can't make up his mind. If he decides to preach the truth while simultaneously lying to everyone about his marriage, he really has no validity as a ruler.
