CHILLS OK WE FINALLY IN IT BOYS

“(We did not run. If we ran then we would have to admit there was something to run from. If we ran, then the small child that lives in every soldier’s heart knew that the monsters could get us. So we did not run, but it was a near thing.)”

Fuckkkkkk thatttttt. R U N.

Other than that HORRIBLY CREEPY smile, this is probably the point i finally get the heebie jeebies (and shivers)

“Miss Potter rode Hob, who seemed somewhat astonished but who was on his very best manners. “That’s an English gentlewoman you’re carrying,” I admonished him. “Probably fifteenth in line to the throne. You be polite.”

“More like a hundred and fifteenth,” said Miss Potter, “a fact which gives me great comfort.” How could i forget i also like ms potter

“The animal moved.
There were three veterans at that table, battle-scarred soldiers who had served their countries honorably in more than one war … and all three of us screamed like small children and recoiled in horror.”

I shant laugh bcs i’d do worse honestly (cant say i didnt snicker a bit)

“It was a sign of how disordered my nerves had become that I did not derive nearly enough enjoyment from hearing Miss Potter pronounce the word “nematode” with an accent so British that it very nearly had its own stiff upper lip”

Be honest guys, is this a horror comedy?

“Hob, always pleased to have an audience, pretended that our great sliding halt had been his idea and pranced to show Miss Potter that she should be impressed”

Love me sassy diva horses

“I was barely over the causeway when I saw movement in the grass and found a hare staring at me.
I cursed at it and spurred Hob [The Horse]. He didn’t deserve that and he bounced a few times to let me know that he knew he didn’t deserve that.”

I wished I added more moments because I Hob whenever they pop up in the story and esp with Alex.

“It is very unpleasant to sit down to a meal when you are trying to determine which one of your breakfast companions is a murderer”

I’ve been slack-jawed since awhile ago

“Falling asleep quickly, whenever you have the chance, is the third thing you learn in the army. (The first thing you learn is to keep your mouth shut and let the sergeants blunt their teeth on the people who can’t. The second thing is to never pass up a chance to piss.)”

Is it too hopeful of me to want Alex Easton in next book of the series?
