Quote #7
"'The Reverend Miriam B. Young: Small Medium at Large.' Don't you just love that? [...] Anyway, some call her the Bat Lady because she keeps bats as pets. Others call her the White Lady because she only wears white." (7.6)

Quote #9
We all let out a little gasp. The wings were so completely silent and we so unprepared. But the moon was bright and the shadow of those wings so real, and before we could find our voices, before I could call out, "Wait!" the owl had flown off into the night. (11.18)
