"'You've got a good heart,'  she told him.  'Sometimes that's enough to see you safe wherever you go.'  Then she shook her head.  'But mostly, it's not.'"

"There was no moon, but the night sky was a riot of crisp and glittering autumn stars.  There were streetlights too, and lights on buildings and on bridges, which looked like earthbound stars, and they glimmered, repeated, as they were reflected with the city in the night water on the Thomas.  It's fairyland, though Richard."
