The Gabriel Hounds Quotes

“Papá siempre ha dicho que una familia es una especie de seguro colectivo; que mientras uno vive y las cosas van bien nadie se preocupa, pero en cuanto sucede algo malo toda la compañía debe moverse para ayudar al que lo necesite.”
― Mary Stewart, The Gabriel Hounds

“I followed him down into the now coolly shadowed court. The lilies were pale blue, held on stiff stems a few inches above the water, where their glossy leaves overlapped the still surface like tiles of jade. Gold fins winked here and there below them, and a gold bee sipped water at a leaf’s edge. A powder-blue petal shut, and another, till one by one the lilies were turbaned up, stiff and quiet for the night. Another late bee, almost caught by a folding flower, wrestled his way angrily out of the petals, and shot off like a bullet.”
― Mary Stewart, The Gabriel Hounds
