Quote #4
There was a queer, high noise, as piercing as a pennywhistle. Parsefall had no idea that it came from his own throat. He knew only that his whole body had been set in motion. He leaped like a cat onto Grisini's back, seizing him by the collar. (15.35)
He's not a touchy-feely kind of guy, nor does he like to talk about his emotions, but Parsefall is still a loyal friend. When he sees that Grisini is hurting Lizzie Rose, he immediately jumps on the evil magician's back even though he's terrified of him.
Quote #5
"I ain't turning orphelings into the street," Mrs. Pinchbeck said grandly. "I 'aven't the 'eart. It's one thing if you 'ad the money, but if you 'aven't, you can"—she thought for a moment—"you can 'elp Luce around the 'house. Tidy up." (16.51)
Lizzie Rose and Parsefall expect to be evicted now that Grisini's gone, but Mrs. Pinchbeck lets them stay even though it means she'll lose rent money. She steps in and is a real friend to them when they're in need, and the children appreciate it more than anything.
Quote #6
Almost at once, he felt better. As he lay there with one hand draped over her, he fancied that she sympathized with him, that she understood his terror. The idea was comforting. He pulled her closer. She was warm and strong and solid. As if he were stretching out a hand, he tried to think himself inside her, to imagine the thoughts that passed through her mind. (22.14)
Parsefall usually pushes people away when they try to get close to him, but he feels differently about Clara when she's a puppet. It's easier to accept her as a friend when she's a little puppet—a friend who can understand him but not ask him any questions.
