Looks like he's lost a guinea and found a farthing, Horace said, then added, unnecessarily, Will, I mean. Halt turned in his saddle to regard the younger man and raised an eyebrow. I may be almost senile in your eyes, Horace, but there's no need to explain the blindly obvious to me. I'd hardly have thought you were referring to Tug.

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.

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.'

Do you think you could put that boot back on? he added mildly. The window can only let in a limited ammount of fresh air and your socks are a tough ripe, to put it mildly. Oh, sorry! said Horace, tugging the riding boot back on over his sock. Now that Halt mentioned it, he was aware of a rather strong odor in the room.

The two girls disappeared into the stern cabin once more. Will watched them go, then asked Halt, 'Anything you'd like me to do? Grow a beard? Learn to walk like a rooster?' 'If you could stop asking facetious questions, that'd be a start,' Halt told him. 'But it's probably a little late in life for you to do that.

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

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.'

Erak. The one they call the Oberjarl, the Arridi answered him. Impulsively, Axl took a pace forward, raising his ax threateningly. You'll have to go through the rest of us to take him! he shouted defiantly. Well done, Axl, he said. You've just told them I'm here.
