Conner said.He nudged Phineas " Ye do it." " I don't even know how!" Phineas poked at Robby. " You do it." " Why me?" Robby turned to Angus. " Ye're the expert. Ye do it." Angus grimaced. " I'm no' doing it. I hate the bugger." " Stop it!" Shanna screamed " You- Forget it! I'll do it myself." " Shanna you don't know how," Roman said." Gods blood. I guess I have to do it." " You guess?" Shanna cried " Are you going to let him die?" " He threatens to kill me every time he sees me. "
2 " I've come to gamble." The old man's mouth twitched. He put down his shish kebab and leaned toward Percy. " A gamble...how interesting. Information in exchange for the harpy? Winner take all?" " No," Percy said. " The harpy isn't part of the deal." Phineas laughed. " Really? Perhaps you don't understand her value." " She's a person," Percy said. " She isn't for sale. "
3 " I had to be right in never talking about what you could not change, and I had to make many people agree that I was right. None of them ever accused me of being responsible for what had happened to Phineas, either because they could not believe it or because they could not understand it. I would have talked about that, but they would not, and I would not talk about Phineas in any other way. "
