“But it's weakness the Maker turns to strength. Your fur is why you alone ministered to my wounds...Hear me, son. I loved you when you were born. I loved you when I wept in the depths of Throg. I loved you even as you sang the song that broke you. And I love you now in the glory of your humility. You're more fit to be king than I ever was. Do you understand?”

“His heart was black with despair, so the Maker's magic was most welcome.

When he remembered this, the darkness glimmered with goodness.”

“In fact, I didn't like traveling first class at all. Yes, it was nice to have a bathroom in a hotel and fine service at breakfast...but none of it seemed foreign enough for me. It was all so pleasantly bland that I felt as if I were back on the SS America. I don't like it when everyone speaks perfect English; I'd much rather struggle with my phrasebook.”

“He felt a quiet pride about the road he had traveled with this old pack - from Glipwood forest, over Miller's Bridge, past the Stranders, to Dugtown, then back along the Strand, over the Barrier, up through the Stony Mountains, over Mog Balgrik, to the Ice Prairies, then across the Dark Sea of Darkness. His anxiousness about another day at school shrank when he thought about how far the Maker had carried him. He may be scarred and worn in places, but like his pack, he believed he was the better for it.”
