4 " Just when I think you can’t get any creeper, you astounded me by reaching a whole new plateau. What did you do to yourself? You’re twitching like a meth head.” “Went into the kitchen. Consumed any products that claimed to boost energy. Ate a bowl of those disgusting brown rinds.” “Rinds? That’s coffee, dumbass. You’re supposed to brew it.” Rip rambled on as if she hadn’t spoken, which—judging by his herky-jerky gestures—he might not have been aware she had. “Then I drank your last three of those products involving some sort of red bovine, followed by half a dozen vials that claim to bestow energy for an allotted period of time. Every part of me tingles. Quite honestly, I think I could fly if the moment required it. "

6 " She is a sick woman," Mama Rosa argued, standing firm to deny him passage. "In addition to her Horseman ramblings, she also strokes her shoe like a cat, and calls it Madame Persephone. Do you think that will be of help as well? "

7 " You, sir,” Irv interrupted, his satchel thumping to the ground at his feet, “are just bothered you were not the first to find acceptable employ. Mostly because, as the women that keep company with you can attest, the only services you provide pay in salves and a burning sensation over the chamber pot.” Rip’s brow rose in mock shock. “How lewd a claim! Lewd … with the faintest hint of accuracy. "

8 " I brought you a fern!” Ireland glanced up from the file folders that covered her desk and smiled at the new arrival beaming from the doorway. “That’s a lesser known form of greeting, however, in this particular office, completely acceptable. "

9 " Noah cocked his head to consider her. “Do I look like a killer?” Slow and deliberate, she let her gaze wander over him before giving a noncommittal shrug. “Hard to say. Although, I think asking that is how they begin and end meetings of The Secret Psycho Killer Society. "

10 " I fear I must warn you, if that ladle finds it's way to her lips, we will be revisited by my lunch," Ichabod stated without the slightest hint of a jest. "And mine will provide it company," Rip seconded. "

11 " Wha dah heck? Rip! I can'h feel mah face! Wha's happein?"
"I... I don't know!" His entire body tensed, his limbs rigid as he struggled with the decision to help her or run screaming from the house. The cup slipped from Ireland's fingers and crashed to the floor, water exploding everywhere. "Oh, Gawd!" I fink ih's happenin'! I'm urning inwho dah howseman!" With frantic hands, Ireland slapped at her face and head. "I can'h feel mah head! Run, Rip! Run! "

14 " Brom ground his teeth together, glaring down at Rip as if he were a bug that needed to be squashed under foot. "I would not ask a woman for her opinion any more than I would ask which of my steer would like to be this weekend's roast."
"Clearly, his new age thinking is what drew Katrina to him," Rip muttered out of the corner of his mouth. "

15 " Irv pivoted their way, his posture ramrod straight and nostrils flaring. "I may have suggested that putting up a lookout post, and manning it with glorified vigilantes, may not be the preferable option to the current situation facing the town. And that our resources may be better utilized employing more bodies to patrol the streets as legally hired, paid law enforcement."

"I take it the message was not well-received?" Ichabod said, biting the insides of his cheeks to stifle a laugh.

A wad of pumpkin innards fell from Irving's hair, slapped against the tip of his nose, and landed on the polished floor with a wet squish. "Not as well as one would hope. I am going to retire for the night to scraoe and bathe this off. Good night."

"Night!" Ichabod and Katrina chorused, letting their amusement spring forth in a chorus of giggles. "

16 " Eleanora's toothless mouth worked furiously, grinding her lips over gums, as she glared Irv's way. "I do not like him," She muttered to Rosa out of the corner of her frown. "He is cheeky."

"Hear that?" Rip grinned, making no attempts to hide his visible amusement at Irv's expense. "You are cheeky. "

17 " Rosa gave her mother a comforting pat of the shoulder before addressing the group, her face folded in apology. "Ever since she was struck ill, it has been easier for her to speak if she rhymes. You should hear us composing our list for the market. Quite and entertaining event. "

19 " I’ve heard the stories, read the book, and even seen the Johnny Depp movie,” Ireland answered with a tight-lipped smile. "

― Stacey Rourke , Crane (The Legends Saga, #1)

20 " In no way can a motion picture measure up to the mastery of storytelling in the book! No matter how ‘dreamy’ Mr. Depp might be! "
