Idiots, Halt muttered. If we were here to cause trouble, we could simply ride them both down
John Flanagan
She knew more about these situations than she realized, he thought. She'd spent years at Duncan's side. When in doubt, he added, be pompous.
John Flanagan
Hunting party, Horace said Both Halt and Will looked at him sarcastically. You think? Will said. Maybe they found the deer and brought him back to repair him.
John Flanagan
The young gentleman is correct, he said. Halt raised an eyebrow. He may be correct, and he is undoubtedly young. But he's no gentleman. ~Halt and General Sapristi speaking of Will
John Flanagan
Crowley shook his head. I sometimes wonder if it was a good idea having Halt train apprentices. He seems to teach them no respect for authority. Oh, he teaches us to respect authority, Gilan said innocently. He just teaches us to ignore it when necessary.

Will looked up angrily, shaking his head in disbelief. Will you shut up? he said tautly. Horace shrugged in apology. 'I'm sorry' he said, I sneezed. A person can't help it when they sneeze. Perhaps not. But you could try to make it sound a little less like an elephant trumpeting in agony Will told him.

Horace, when you get older, try to avoid being saddled with an apprentice. Not only are they a damned nuisance, but apparently they constantly feel the need to get the better of their masters. They’re bad enough when they’re learning. But when they graduate, they become unbearable. [The Kings of Clonmel Pg.268]

I'll be getting you for this,' Halt had told him as he dabbed the diguisting mixture on the worst of the cuts. 'That soot is filthy. I'll probably come down with half a dozen infections.' Probably,' Horace had replied, distracted by his task. 'But we'll only need you for today.' Which was not a very comforting thought for Halt.
John Flanagan
Face your fears, Halt had always thought him, and more often than not they fade like mist in the sunshine
John Flanagan
Horace normally didn't need anyone else to save his life. He was pretty skilled at doing it for himself.
John Flanagan
He'd just have to lie there and die, watched over by strange stars who didn't know him, didn't care for him. It was very sad, really.
John Flanagan
Don't worry, chief. We've got these Tualaghi surrounded - from the inside. Exactly, Erak replied dryly.
John Flanagan
You're not built for riding, either, Horace added. I'd say more saddle sore than homesick. Svenal sighed ruefully, shifting his buttocks for the twentieth time to find a more comfortable spot. It's true, he said. I've been discovering parts of my backside I never knew existed.
John Flanagan
So I'm an ace?' Will grinned. 'I'm flattered Halt, flattered. I had no idea you regarded me so highly.' Halt gave him a long-suffering look. 'I might have been more accurate to say a joker.' Whatever you say.
John Flanagan
What the devil is Chocho?' Will whispered. Horace's grin broadened. 'You are. It's what the men call you,' he said. Then he added, 'It's a term of great respect.' Behind them, Halt nodded confirmation. 'Great respect,' he agreed.
John Flanagan
Remember, this thing is small. It's not like the wolfships. It'll ride over the waves, not crash through them. So we're safe as houses. He wasn't sure about the last two statements, but they seemed logical to him.
John Flanagan
Oh, it's a case of 'they think I'll think that they'll do A, so they'll do B because I wouldn't think they'd think of that but then because I might think I know what they're thinking they'll do A after all because I wouldn't think they'd think that way,' Will said
John Flanagan
Fanatics, Halt said. Don't you just love 'em?
John Flanagan
Strange, he thought, how seldom people tend to look up - Will
John Flanagan
Shall I call the others back in? He nodded. Why ask me? It's all of you who are making the decisions.
