    “He used his large shoulders and movements to impose his dominance over others as he strutted around but his facial expressions were a giveaway to people like Maeve who was born into a gritty group of native born fighting Irish. While many saw him as a man who worked his way up to power and influence and attained success that others fail to achieve, she saw him as a sham. He didn’t acquire loyalty by goodwill, but by corruption, fear, and loathing.”
    ― A.G. Russo, The Cases Nobody Wanted

    “That’s it. Let’s go.”
    “Yep,” whispered Suley. He turned to leave. “This is crazy.” He had his phone in his hand. “Look, we’re still in Rowland Forest. What’s this fence doing here? How come it’s not marked?”
    “We’ll tell your father about it.” Saskia pulled at his arm, looking anxiously around and up. To her horror, she saw a surveillance camera mounted on an overhead tree branch. It pointed straight at them. “Merde! Suley, we’ve got to go!” she hissed, pointing to the camera.
    His eyes widened.
    Distant shouts and an engine roaring to life exploded the forest calm.
    Suley and Saskia bolted back the way they’d come.”

    “George’s utterance of the nest and the trap belonged to a bigger mystery she did not yet understand. One day I will, she promised herself.

    “I wondered for a long time how to start that theme, how to start writing
    about something that was important to me. And I finally began like this: When I stepped
    out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things
    on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home...”

    “Then what is magic for?" Prince Lír demanded wildly. "What use is wizardry if it cannot save a unicorn?" He gripped the magician's shoulder hard, to keep from falling.

    Schmedrick did not turn his head. With a touch of sad mockery in his voice, he said, "That's what heroes are for.”
