We haven't had

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Book Quote Game!
We haven't had...

We haven't had one of these for a long time, so I'm making one. If you don't know the rules here they are:

I'll post a quote, people try and guess what book it's from, and the first person to guess correctly wins. The winner posts the next quote and it starts all over again.

This quote might be pretty hard, so if you need help I'll give some hints.

"Everything moved rapidly after the tea was drunk."

I couldn't help it, and looked it up. *sheepish grin* But I never ever heard of the author. Interesting choice.

Yeah, I'd never heard of it before either until I stumbled on the series at the library bookshop. If you want to, you can post a new quote. I'm guessing no one is going to know what mine's from and I hate killing the thread with an obscure quotation.

I googled it too, and I actually know the author and series, but I haven't read them.

They say he was one of teh creators of Cricket. That's what I found interesting. Who's posting next?

Sorry True, I'm going with Ivy since she's heard of it before.

I wasn't asking for a chance! :) I was just wanting to make sure that the game wouldn't drop to the bottom. ;)

Sorry, I hadn't seen this!

"She wore a pendent - a glittering D - possibly her initial, or her grade average."

I think it's from The Serpents Shadow, The Kane Chronicles, right?

This is from an older, harder to read book, but I challenge you to find another book with a character named Wamba, so I'll give it to you anyways.:

"Truly," said Wamba, without stirring from the spot, "I have consulted my legs upon this matter, and they are altogether of opinion, that to carry my gay garments through these sloughs, would be an act of unfriendship to my sovereign person and royal wardrobe; wherefore, Gurth, I advise thee to call off Fangs, and leave the herd to their destiny, which, whether they meet with bands of travelling soldiers, or of outlaws, or of wandering pilgrims, can be little else than to be converted into Normans before morning, to thy no small ease and comfort."

I agree, and I would post, but I have no idea what book that's from. Here's another quote, though (it might not be precisely the one in the book): 

She had made 1 million dollars in the stock market, lost it all, and got 5 million more.
