The Adventures of Dod

"Please, please, please be alive."

"Mentioning Boot's father like that was completely heartless and unforgivable.  Only a rock with no emotion whatsoever would concoct the things he said." 

"She's going to get you one of these days.  You better watch your back...if you prank her wrong, she'll plunk you with her sword...only to discover later that you were kidding."

 "Yes, I'd agree this whole place has gone twirling mad!"

"I don't imagine he'll be here to bother you tonight....He's out watching again." 

"You just don't go there and expect to come back alive. Cat fights are wicked." 

"I'm serious about bad luck. It's funny until it happens to you..." 

 "I wouldn't quit the Coosings!  Sawb really stretched when he appointed me last year--my family, you know; we're not chauss or toting gold."

"Ludicrous!  Stand back....You're telling me he's a threat?" 

"I do....I keep all of the rules that need keeping!" 

"Promise me you'll seek out the full truth and the secrets after I'm dead..."

"So he's dead and life goes on without him, huh?"

 "If The Dread is among us, then we must act normal.  Any suspicious behavior would certainly lead to a swift and fatal meeting with him!"

"He does stuff like that....You ought to come back to Twistyard with us.  It's more fun being a Coosing now that Dod's around..." 

"Come on, boy, settle down. You don't want that putrid thing anyway. I'll find you something better..."

"Why be mad when you can choose to be happy?" 

"You better hurry, Dod.  You've got to sign in or Mr. Clair won't let you duel--and you're up first in the level-five ring." 

 "It's the best in all of us, the grand dream, the lingering hope of what my family trusts can one day become everyone's inheritance."

"I can't imagine how they escaped without us noticing. The windows remained closed. We had them trapped."

"I almost didn't recognize you with a shirt on."
