“Oh, for Time's sake, this is too pathetic. You'd end the universe, because you've had a bad century?”
Catherine Webb, Waywalkers

“Horatio Lyle hit the floor, the floor hit him, and the floor came out the winner. It was in times like these, he told himself, when Newton's Second Law really made its point.”
Catherine Webb, The Dream Thief

“The thunder rolled, one last time. It poured through the narrow, dirty black streets, slid into the gaps between cobbles, rippled across the water of the river, made the still bells hum, and passed on, spreading out into the countryside beyond, where it bent the grass, whispered in the trees and eventually died away.”
Catherine Webb, The Extraordinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio Lyle
