Quote #7

"Chops," Julian said, "is to magic what doing scales is to a chanteuse. Without it you cannot be a magician, with it alone you cannot be an artist." ("Ethan Explains the B and B Inn".257)

True magicians are both magicians and artists. He's already got the "chops," and now he's learning the magic—like the way he puts together The Souls.

Quote #8

"Ethan Potter. I didn't recognize you." I believe that she [Mrs. Reynolds] did not recognize him, for the person yelling Bravo! was Ethan, The Soul—not Ethan, the silent. ("Julian Narrates When Ginger Played Annie's Sandy".53)

Little turtle-hatchling Ethan is growing up. As part of The Souls, he's come out of his shell.

Quote #9

Mrs. Olinski said, "That is either the most honest or the most dishonest answer I have ever heard. I must notify the bus driver that I'll be driving you four souls home."

Why did she say that? She was smiling. Did she know that we were The Souls? Did she know? ("Julian Narrates When Ginger Played Annie's Sandy".149-50)

Before Mrs. Olinski knows about The Souls, she calls the little group "souls." Coincidence? Or magic?
