“Kate seemed to have doubled in size. She had drawn back her broad shoulders and set her jaw, and something in the stance called to mind the contained ferocity of a lioness. But it was the fierceness in Kate's bright blue eyes that had the most striking effect. The sort of look that made you thankful she wasn't your enemy. "It's not going to be over," Kate said firmly "Until we say so.” MindLooksMadeSaidEyeEnemyEffectsBlueSizeShouldersBroadsKateBlue EyesStanceFerocityFiercenessLioness Author:Trenton Lee Stewart
“Something about this made Reynie uneasy. Had he done so badly? Was this meant to test his courage? He did as he was told, closing his eyes and bracing himself as best he could. "Why are you flinching?" the pencil woman asked. "I don't know. I thought maybe you were going to slap me." "Don't be ridiculous. I could slap you perfectly well with your eyes open. I'm only going to blindfold you.” KnowsWellsMadeDoneEyeTestsRidiculousHis EyesPencilsClosingSlapUneasyBlindfoldsMysterious Benedict Society Author:Trenton Lee Stewart
“Mr. Harinton was real. There were adults in the world who would actually make sacrifices for others - not just for their own families but for anyone who needed help. Nicholas had always had the impression that families looked after one another, and he had come to understand that, on rare ocassions, children would do the same... But this was different. What Mr. Harinton was doing certainly helped Nicolas - but it also simply felt right to Nicholas. It made him want to be exactly like Mr. Harinton himself.” WorldWantChildrenMadeDifferentRealHelpingFeltSacrificeNeededAdultsImpressionSacrifice For OthersNeeded Help Author:Trenton Lee Stewart
