How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
This was obviously an invitation. The strangest I had ever received. I not only had never been invited to a tea party before but had never before been invited to a party where I was not told the time and the place. Either the mystery would clear up, or it wouldn't. Either way, I wouldn't give it a second thought or discuss it with anyone. ("Ethan Explains the B and B Inn".92)
Sometimes perseverance isn't the right choice; sometimes, Ethan decides, mysteries aren't meant to be solved.
Quote #5
"I could not believe that anyone would not want one of Ginger's puppies."
"What if Julian has an allergy?"
"If Julian had an allergy—which he does not—he would still want one of Ginger's pups. Ginger is a genius." She looked at me [Ethan] and added, "She is a hybrid genius of unknown I.Q.," and I knew that she was acknowledging our conversation of last summer. ("Ethan Explains the B and B Inn".155-157)
"Ginger is a genius." "Ginger is a genius." "Ginger is a genius." Okay, okay. We get it. Ginger is a genius. Think Nadia might secretly be saying something else?
Quote #6
"Do you have a dog?" she asked.
"No, but…"
"Just answer the question. DO you have a dog?"
"No, but…"
"Just answer the question. Have you ever had a dog?"
"No, but…"
"Just answer the question. Have you ever had a dog?"
"No."
Nadia said, "I rest my case."
Noah would not give up. ("Julian Narrates When Ginger Played Annie's Sandy".16-25)
It's too bad that Noah and Nadia aren't the ones who are almost related, because they fight like brother and sister. Even when Nadia "rest[s] [her] case,'" Noah keeps at it.
