I thought i would scrap the fav quotes, for a fav foot notes thread:
wrote:Manifestly untrue. Despite his crimped shirts and flowing mane (or perhaps because of them) I had seen no evidence as yet that Nathaniel even knew what a girl was. If he'd ever met one, chances are they'd both have run screaming in opposite directions.

Classic.

...hmmm, maybe Barti should have appeared as a footstool at some point in Ptolemy's Gate?

'"That's right," I said "Me. What, did you think that I'd be all nice and quiet for you? Think again, sonny. There are two of us in this body now. Check this out."
To prove my point I lifted one of his fingers and methodically picked his nose. He uttered a squawk of protest. "Stop that!"'
I lowered the arm. "That's not all I can do if I put your mind to it"'

Ahh, too many funny lines for Bartimaeus!! Don't know what to pick there. But Nathaniel at a few points has shown a few signs of humor.
wrote: Nat: "How long's it taken?"

Limosine Driver: "Twelve minutes, sir. I had to come the long way around. The center of town's still barricated off. There are demonstrations in the parks. A lot of police activity."

Nat: "Good, with luck we'll miss the beginning of the performance."

Don't think so, I know that the U.K. edition has a few more pages, but I don't know it that's because of text size or what. I just added that part at the end of my quote just to be all official. It's a habit of mine. :)

Erm... why does 'Sometimes you humans can be so dense' make Barti look like a schoolgirl?

By saying 'dense' in italics, it puts an emphasis on it that makes me think he's putting his hands on his hips and pouting when he says it. Maybe it's just me.

Yes, a mole putting his hands on his hips and pouting. Hmmm.
Dense is just to emphasize dense, in a sarcastic bored sort of way.
