Courage Quotes in Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice)

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

I quite liked the idea of being a spook; it was much more interesting than milking cows and spreading manure. (1.10)

Tom is easily bored, so despite how scary being a Spook might be, he's pretty sure it beats farming. Or worse—a desk job in a dinky little cubicle.

Quote #2

My dad was a brave man just to stand within six feet of [the Spook]. (1.25)

Most people won't come near the Spook. So we're guessing that most people in the world, therefore, are not brave. Or they just have personal space issues.

Quote #3

Mam was a lot braver than I was. (1.95)

We think that bravery must run in this family, because Tom's just as good as his Mam at staring down scary ghasts. Is this why Tom's Mam wanted to have seven sons after all—to pass on her bravery?
