Quote #10

The troll faced a dilemma—which female to eat first. [...] The beast squatted low, tilting the girl's chin with one yellowed talon. [...] It turned the talon sideways, so that the edge pressed against soft human flesh. One sharp swipe and the girl's own heartbeat would drive the blood from her body. (8.282)

This makes no sense whatsoever, right? The troll nearly kills Butler and should be more interested in finishing the job and removing that threat entirely, but instead stops what it's doing and somehow has the mental capacity to choose which girl looks nicer to eat. Also, Juliet's hobby is wrestling—we doubt she's really a whole lot softer than Butler.
