The Curious Case of the Cursed Spectacles Quotes

“As I watched Walter's thug make a crude and clumsy attempt to treat Clarence's wound, it sank in just how much danger we were in. The danger we seemed to keep putting ourselves in. The original idea of tracking down some odd items that had strange powers had been almost like a fairy tale adventure. Some mystery men had stolen them and we set out to get them back. For God and country, or something like that. It was exciting, as Clarence said, but the whole thing had spiraled out of control.”

“My tiny wage minus the large, mandatory, charitable contributions that I made to the State, City, and Federal governments.”
