Quote #4
Whelk stood back and crossed his arms, studying the dozens of marks and notations he'd made on the maps over the course of his search. Czerny's impossible handwriting, always in red, noted energy levels along the possible path of the ley line. Back then, it had been a game, a treasure hunt. A play for glory. Was it true? It didn't matter. It was an expensive exercise in strategy with the East Coat as the playing field. (10.10)
Like Gansey and friends, Whelk used to look for the ley lines for fun. He didn't really care about the outcome; it was all about the adventure. But now he's desperate to find them so that he can be the most powerful Latin teacher ever.
Quote #5
"I'm the only person in my family who's not psychic. You heard my mom; I just make things easier for people who are psychic. If magic exists, I just want to see it. Just once."
"You're as bad as Gansey," Adam said, but he didn't sound as if he thought that was very bad at all. "He doesn't need anything but to know it's real." (21.26-27)
Blue doesn't care about the hunt for Glendower or anything like that. She just wants to be in the middle of the action when something magical goes down. Is that so much to ask?
Quote #6
Gansey, energized, set the boys out on Glendower-related tasks for the next three days, and to Adam's surprise, Blue managed to come along for each of them. Though she never said as much, it was clear she was keeping them a secret, because she never contacted the boys by phone or met up with the near 300 Fox Way. Despite their lack of formal planning and psychic ability, they all had schedules largely dictated by school, so they managed to meet up to explore with remarkable precision. (25.1)
How do these kids find the time after school to go exploring in creepy woods and to research Glendower at the library? Don't they have homework and exams to study for?
