Mikeru was still puzzling over Horace's last remark. He frowned. 'Kurokuma, these shenanigans... What are they?' 'Shenanigans are what Rangers do. They usually involve doing things that risk breaking your neck or your leg.' Mikeru nodded, filing the word away. 'I will remember this word,' he said. 'Shenanigans. It is a good word.'
John Flanagan
Shut up, Axl! he whispered fiercly. If you want to break your neck, do it quietly or I'll break it for you.

...at the time, King Herbert felt that to remain safe, the kingdom needed an effective intelligence force. An intelligent force? said Will. Not intelligent. Intelligence. Although it does help if your intelligence force was also intelligent.

But then, in his lifetime, Halt had often ignored what was technically legal. Technicalities didn't appeal to him. All too often, they simply got in the way of doing the right thing.
John Flanagan
They have terrified my poor wife and threatened my very person! Halt eyed the man impassivley until the outburst was finished. Worse than that, he said quietly, they've wasted my time.
John Flanagan
Halt looked up at the trees above him. Why does this boy ask so many questions? he asked the trees. Naturally, they didn't answer.

Evanlyn smiled grimly as she thought how once she might have objected to the cruelty of the bird's death. Now, all she felt was a sense of satisfaction as she realized that they would eat well today. Amazing how an empty belly could change your perspective, she thought.

I said, names aren't important, he repeated. There was a silence between them for some seconds, then the Ranger said: Do you know what is important? Will shook his head. Supper is important!
John Flanagan
