Loyalty Quotes in The Maze of Bones (The 39 Clues)

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

[Mr. McIntyre] had been Grace's adviser, her closest confidant, for half her life. (1.6)

Grace must have thought Mr. McIntyre was loyal and trustworthy to keep him so close for her entire life. He acts pretty shady through the rest of the book, though, so she may have made a bad call. Despite his duplicitous ways, could he possibly be acting in Grace's best interests?

Quote #2

"My dear children, may I suggest something? We need an alliance." (4.79)

Like in Survivor, an alliance is crucial to getting ahead in the game. A good alliance requires loyalty among all its members. An alliance with Uncle Alistair is not a good alliance, because he's only loyal to himself.

Quote #3

[Dan's] arms bled from a hundred cat scratches. (5.102)

This act shows Dan's loyalty to his sister, Amy. She really wanted to save Saladin the cat, but couldn't find him. Dan not only finds the cat, but gets pretty injured in the process. That's some brotherly love right there.
