(Also, while looking I found this conversation between Barty and Tosha just after Daphne's murder, and oh, man, rereading that in the context of how things ended is just heartbreaking.)
I think this is a great summation for a lot of Alternity play, though: Now sleep. It will likely not be better in the morning, but at least it will be morning, and you'll need to be well rested.
Oh, man, yes. The number of times Tosha sent Barty to bed NEVER FAILED to crack me up.
(Other Tosha and Barty moments I loved: The number of times Tosha nagged him to FINISH HIS DAMN THESIS ALREADY so he could grant Barty his Mastery.)
(I think the first thing he does when he becomes Grand-Master of the Conclave is to enter Barty into the rolls of past Masters of the Conclave, finished master-work or no.)

oh oh oh, I JUST SAW THAT THE OTHER DAY when I was going through things looking for something, ARGH. It'll come to me!
(Tosha and his world-weary resignation to the shitshow his life was, man.)
Okay, I have not yet found that, but I have found:
"Well. At least it will be a different set of intractable and exhausting problems."
"Difficult odds against a highly motivated force with our lives and our honour upon the line: it will at least be a familiar adventure."
And HA. I think I found the one you meant: "Oh, fuck a rusty duck, the night did only want for that." (Barty had just informed Tosha that Voldemort wanted the Inferi to fight in the Return of the Frost Faire Games.)

"I am of course delighted for the chance to be of service and entirely certain I will be able to integrate the necessary work into my already complex schedule without difficulty. Possibly I will first need to develop new methods of control over space and time, but that shan't take more than a week or two, I imagine."
