Gundar QUOTES

1 " Gundar seemed to come to a decision. " Well, as my old mam used to say, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck." " Very wise," Halt said. " And what exactly do your mother's words of wisdom have to do with this situation?" Gundar shrugged. " It looks like a channel. It's the right place for a channel. If I were digging one, this is where I'd dig a channel. So. . ." " So it's probably the channel?" Selethen said. Gundar grinned at him. " Either that or it's a duck. "

'Thank you for your concern,' Halt said icily...
'So, did you find Albert?' Gundar went on, unabashed. Even Halt was puzzled by this sudden apparent change of subject.
'Albert?' he asked. Too late, he saw Gundar's grin widening and knew he'd stepped into a trap.
'You seemed to be looking for him. You'd lean over the rail and call, 'Al-b-e-e-e-e-e-r-t!' I thought he might be some Araluen sea god.'
'No, I didn't find him. Maybe I could look for him in your helmet.'
He reached out a hand. But Gundar had heard what happened when Skandians lent their helmets to the grim-faced Ranger while onboard ship...
'No, I'm pretty sure he's not there,' he said hurriedly. "
