How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Dan wanted [Grace] to say something special to them: Dan and Amy, I'll miss you most of all. Nobody else in this room really matters to me. (2.107)
Dan never verbalizes it, but he's very hurt that Grace, his grandmother, never did more to help him and Amy out. She never even expressed that they were her favorites. And now she's telling them from beyond the grave? Yeah, that's gonna call for some therapy. After the hunt, of course.
Quote #2
How could Grace have been planning something this huge and not have warned them in advance? (3.23)
Like Dan, Amy also feels betrayed by Grace for not knowing about the hunt ahead of time. But this is a betrayal they manage to get over pretty quickly, once the hunt is underway.
Quote #3
For reasons [Grace] never explained, she'd pressured Beatrice into being [Amy and Dan's] guardian instead. (3.15)
Ugh, a double-dose of betrayal. Not only did Grace not take Amy and Dan in, but she sold them out to one of the most duplicitous guardians we've ever seen. Sheesh. It makes you wonder why they even bothered going to her funeral.
