Quote #7
Just concentrate on rescuing Father, she told herself. That is the one important thing. Rescue Abhorsen. Don't worry about Touchstone's problems, or Mogget's curious nature. Rescue Abhorsen. (15.12)
Despite mounting fear, Sabriel is able to focus here on her goal, putting aside other worries.
Quote #8
She shivered, but suppressed it, before it became a racking sob. Inside, she felt like screaming, crying. She wanted to flee back to Ancelstierre, cross the Wall, leave the dead and magic behind, go as far south as possible. But she quelled these feelings, and said, "An Abhorsen defeated him once. I can do so again. But first, we must find my father's body." (18.74)
Even when Sabriel feels like crying and fleeing the scene—and even when she's facing a power-mad monster who wants to destroy her—she pulls herself together. We'd call that courage, wouldn't you? It's definitely grace under pressure.
Quote #9
He was inwardly fighting a strong desire to leave the diamond of protection and run for the southern stair, splashing through the reservoir like a runaway horse, careless of the noise—but there was Sabriel, frosted over, immobile—(22.14)
Touchstone's pretty courageous, isn't he? He stays with Sabriel's body, even though he can hear the Dead approaching with Kerrigor—and he didn't do too well the first time he faced Kerrigor.
