    “Katsa has wondered if a person could ever build wings to fly with."
    "What do you mean, to fly with?" said Bitterblue, suddenly irate.
    "You know what I mean."
    "You'll only encourage her to believe it can be done."
    "I have no doubt it can be done."
    "To what purpose?" snapped Bitterblue.
    Po's eyebrows rose. "Flying would be its own purpose, Cousin. Don't worry, no one would ever expect the queen to do it."

    “Strauss! Oh yes, he was so-so. He wrote pretty music- The Blue Danube and Tales from the Vienna Woods. But what is that compared to Mozart?'

    'Did he run off the road again?'

    'Not once but many times,' Bess said. 'It was awful. Once he got so angry because someone compared Beethoven to Mozart that he actually stopped the bus, ran outside, and shouted into the valley, Beethoven is a bore. Mozart is sublime. Over and over. The professor had to go out and drag him back to the bus.”
    Carolyn Keene, Captive Witness
