«Our house was a castle, turreted and open to the sky.»

«I was thinking of Charles.I could turn him into a fly and drop him into a spider.s web and watch him tangled and helpless and struggling, shut into the body of a dying buzzing fly; I could wish him dead until he died.»

«I am walking on buried treasure,I thought, with the grass brushing against hands and nothing around me but the reach of the long field with the grass blowing and the pine woods at the end; behind me was the house, and far off to my left, hidden by trees and almost out of sight, was the wire fence our father had built to keep people out.»

“Silly Merricat,” Constance said.
