“You're barely older than me.'

'Than I,' he corrected me with a little smile.”
― H.P. Mallory, The Witch Is Back (Underworld, #4)

“In the early grey of the morning they reached the headquarter of General Genarius and found him working in a mountain of paperwork. Joey and Maya informed the general in detail about Libertine’s report. General Genarius closed his eyes and thought for a long moment until he said, “Wait a minute! Are you telling me that you want to enter the belly of darkness and liberate the mermaids and the unicorns?”
“Yes Sir, we are determined to attack the center of demonic powers and believe in the great opportunity to liberate the mermaids and the unicorns from the cruel grip of the Empire!” Maya said.
“Dangerous, dangerous…but the more I think about it, the more I can see that it could really work. However…this mission has to be well organized and of course…you must find the secret door to the Underworld… in time or you will be in big trouble. It is very risky but I will support this venture! Let me share with you some of my ideas and how this attempt could work. Take your six unicorns, all the equipment you need and leave the city of Selinka as soon as possible with Captain Goran and my assistant Captain Armstrong. You must cross the Thordis River behind the city, stay close to the Lagoon and move directly east from there. Let me take my map and show you exactly the way and… let me talk to Captain Armstrong. He is indeed a man with a strong arm, a clear mind in battle and he knows the way to Duanes Gate very well because his family lives somewhere in that area.”

“Sonnet of Grammar

Grammar, Oh Grammar,
Whatever you are,
Go away and bother,
The intellectual scholar.
I ain't no intellectual,
Nor am I a scholar,
So bother me not,
With your snobbish affair.
My words come from the soil,
My structure is born on the street.
I didn't even graduate college,
What do I know about literary creed!
Time has come for me to put you in place.
Be an aid to discourse, not an uptight nutcase!”
