One Of The Heavy Marble Busts That Lined The Higher Shelves Had Slid Free And Was Falling Toward Her; She Ducked Out Of Its Way, And It Hit The Floor Inches From Where She'd Been Standing, Leaving A Sizable Dent In The Floor. A Second Later Jace's Arms Were Around Her And He Was Lifting Her Off Her Feet. She Was Too Surprized To Struggle As He Carried Her Over To The Broken Window And Dumped Her Unceremoniously Out Of It.

He Felt His Heart, Which No Longer Beat, Contract, And He Wondered If There Was Anything In The World As Painful As Not Being Able To Protect The People You Loved.

Their Grandchildren Had Reminded Will Of The Song About Demon Pox He Had Taught Them- When They Were Much Too Young, Tessa Had Always Thought- And That They Had All Memorized. They Sang It All Together And Out Of Tune, Scandalizing Sophie.

Looking At Him Now-even If She Hadn't Been In Love With Him, That Part Of Her That Was Her Mother's Daugher, That Loved Every Beautiful Thing For Its Beauty Alone, Would Still Have Wanted Him.

Magnus Had Been Alive Hundreds Of Years Himself, And Yet The Simplest Things Could Turn A Day Into A Jewel, And A Succession Of Days Into A Glittering Chain That Went On And On. Here Was The Simplest Thing: A Pretty Girl Liked Him, And The Day Shone.

A Parabatai. Like He Was. And Jace Knew, Too, What That Faded Rune Meant: A Parabatai Whose Other Half Was Dead.

Will Asked, Raising His Hand And Letting His Witchlight Fare Up Between His Fingers, Lighting The Corridor To Daylight Brightness. Charlotte, Hurrying Along Ahead Of Them, Turned And Frowned, But Said Nothing. "i Know You Can't Leave Anything Well Alone," Tessa Replied, Looking Straight Ahead. "but I Though Better Of Jem." "where Will Goes, I Go," Jem Said Good-naturedly. "and Besides, I'm As Curious As He Is.

He Leaned Against The Door Frame, Ignoring The Kick Of Adrenaline The Sight Of Her Produced. He Wondered Why, Not For The First Time. Isabelle Used Her Beauty Like She Used Her Whip, But Clary Didn't Know She Was Beautiful At All. Maybe That Was Why.

"well, When I Was Five, I Wanted My Mother To Let Me Go Around And Around Inside The Dryer With The Clothes," Clary Said. "the Difference Is, She Didn't Let Me."
