" Sorcery and Cecelia, Book 1
'Among other things, he [Thomas] insist he will perish if he cannot take me to Venice and watch me fall into a canal.'
The Grand Tour ( Book 2; after Kate falls into a canal):
When he was sure I was unharmed, Thomas indulged in a bit of scolding.'' I've seen you fall in the duck pond at St.James Park. I've done all mortal man can do to keep you from falling in the English Channel, I bring you all the way to Venice and this is how you thank me? You fall into a canal behind my back? Kate, you are a monster of inconsideration. "
