    Quote:If what Lou had said hadn't been preceded by some angsty sort of pacing movements and tree assault, he mightn't have so readily believed him.

    No, I'm not going to apologize for quoting Olive all the damn time. She's great.

    Quote:"Fine, you can be Poppy." Now that she thought about it, it was better than the name she had picked out anyway. Opium was a bi-product of poppies and Yarrow was the sort of person to drive one to hallucinogenic drugs.

    Quote:Gabriel wished to regale his cousin with stories of his mother's shrinkage and odd adventures with his pet toad, but figured in doing so he would prevent the occurrence of further outings.

    Quote:...just as his head turned to see what the commotion was about, an elbow jabbed right into his eye. He refrained from making a fuss out of it to not ruin the moment...

    Quote:Could it be? He was flirting with her! In spite of the algae. Oh, maybe she wouldn't die alone and unloved, with only Armando by her bedside (even with his two-hundred-year head start Ophelia had no supposition that she might outlive her grandfather; he was too stubborn to die at any kind of normal age and she didn't see why he'd change his mind about it any time soon).

    Quote:Obviously Ruby was getting one of the window seats. And anyway, who would be more fitting from the four of them? Topaz certainly wasn't the sort to get a window seat. She didn't care about gossip or looking pretty or making sure that others noticed how pretty she was. All she cared about was nerdy stuff and she could be nerdy in any place of the desserterie, really.

    @'Ruby Urquart' in Outings & Ice Cream

    This entire paragraph:

    What had fortunately not provoked a tearful outburst but rather a brief spell of fury was his likeness looking very flirtatious for a cake decoration. Even in miniature he was a treacherous beast. Ursula had snatched the decoration from the cake and walked off with it with the intention of breaking into a hundred pieces, but one look at the tiny Thom in her hand and her fury turned to melancholy. Frustrated by being so easily compromised emotionally by an enchanted cake topper, she crushed it in her fist and it had broken in two. Again the anger gave way to sadness and she immediately regretted it. In a lone corner she had tried to jam his top and bottom half back together but to no avail. She had eventually resorted to a quick repairing spell but was dismayed to see a faint horizontal line where he had been torn asunder. He'd then been jammed into a discreet dress pocket before anyone could see her cradling him. It.

    There were the ones like Tiberius, Uncle Lucius and Aunt Mariana who Ellory suspected of secretly eating babies to sustain their powers but even they were boring on an everyday basis.

    @'Ellory Pendergast' in Contagious
    When your maid gathered the boldness to inform you that talking solely to your pterodactyl was probably not healthy, it was probably time to go and talk to some actual human company.

    The number of letters asking for his recommendation as to curling irons had rather pleasantly dropped off of late, and he was actually having to purchase proper fuel for his fire now.

    Perhaps this would end with Ben being turned into a llama too, which would definitely spice up the ball.
