Its beats were numbered. How many would there be time for, as he rose and walked through the castle for the last time, out into the grounds and into the forest?
J. K. Rowling
Ron's eyebrows rose so high that they were in danger of disappearing into his hair.
J. K. Rowling
You could tie my hands to my sides, I suppose, but I have to write. For my own mental health, I need to write.

For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs.
