Quote by Kerstin Gier

“For a moment, there was silence. That is, if you don't count Xemerius, who was killing himself with laughter as he swung from the chandelier. I couldn't say a word, because I was busy getting that piece of quiche down. Nick giggled, my mum looked from Gideon to me and back again several times, Aunt Glenda got red marks on her throat, and the way Lady Arista looked at Gideon you might have thought he was an orange begonia.”

And how well they knew Jehovah’s anguish.”
