1 " They're constants, aren't they?" ... "Books are. That's why we like them so much. They seem immutable. They're not, of course. Not from the author's first draft to the tenth printing, but they seem like it. "

2 " A clean desk is a sign of a cluttered mind. "

4 " Alban’s eyes widened, palpable shock rolling off him. “Daisani’s assistant? That Vanessa Gray?”
“That one.”
Alban whistled, a long high sound of wind howling through stone, and Margrit looked at him in surprise. “You can whistle?”
His eyebrows wrinkled. “Can’t you?”
“Of course, but it’s so frivolous. You’re sort of stolid. I wouldn’t have thought whistling was in a gargoyle’s nature.”
Alban chuckled. “I don’t do it often. "

5 " Obviously I’m doing something wrong,” Russell said dryly. “I thought vacations involved white sand beaches and cerulean skies, not concussions and working over the weekend. "
