"A forty-foot worm?" Will muttered to Jem as they moved through the Italian garden, [...] "Think of the size of the fish we could catch."
Jem's lips twitched. "It's not funny, you know."
"It is a bit."
"You cannot reduce the situation to worm jokes, Will. This is Gabriel and Gideon's father we're discussing."
"We're not just discussing him; we're chasing him through an ornamental sculpture garden because [...]

I also love that when they found out about him being a worm from Gabriel, one of the first things that was said was:"I don't suppose it would be possible," Henry said into the silence, "to, er, step on him?"
Gabriel looked at him with disgust. "I searched around the gardens. I found some of the servants. And when I say I found 'some' of them, I mean exactly what I say. They had been toen into - into pieces." He swallowed and looked down at his bloody clothes. "I heard a sound - a high-pitched howling noise. I turned and saw it coming towards me. A great blind worm like a dragon out of a legend. Its mouth was open wide, lined with dagger teeth. [...]"
"Ah," said Henry. "Too big to be stepped on, then."
"A demonic worm," said Jem, pausing to peer cautiously around a hedgerow. "A great serpent. Would that help your inappropriate humor?"
"There was a time when my inappropriate humor brought you a certain amusement," sighed Will. "How the worm has turned."

Also, funny how she used the American English spelling (humor) for a book that's set in London and characters that are all supposedly British, and have British slang.
