Jude Watson Quote

Atticus adjusted his glasses as he peered down at the blanket. Hey, is that the book Nellie told us about?Jake’s eyes flicked to Olivia’s book. You’ve got it outside in the ? Are you out of your minds?Amy crossed her arms. We’re being careful.It’s not about careful, this is a five-hundred-year-old manuscript! You should be wearing gloves—Atticus brought some—and keeping it of the sunlight.It didn’t take you long to start barking orders! Any exclaimed, her face flushing. But then you always know best, don’t you?Somebody has to be mature in this situation, Jake said, his gaze flashing at Ian, who was now intently trying to brush cookie crumbs off his pants.True. In that case, we’d rather consult your little brother, Ian said with a smirk. Medieval manuscripts are his field, am I right?Technically, it’s early Renaissance, Jake said.Thanks for the correction, my good man. Amy is right—you know best. Ian slipped his arm around Amy. She’s so perceptive. One of the many things I adore about her.It’s getting chilly. Why don’t we go inside? Amy suggested brightly as she tried to step out of the circle of Ian’s arm.Ian took the opportunity to rub her shoulder. You do feel rather cold, he said. Let’s sit by the fire. Jake, since you’re so interested in proper handling, why don’t you take the book?Jake snatched up the book and furiously stomped off toward the house.You forgot to wear gloves! Ian called after him.Amy pushed him away. Really, Ian.What a touchy guy, Ian said. Frankly, I don’t know what you see in him.He winced as the kitchen door slammed, then glanced at Amy’s red face. Hmmm. It might be a good time for me to take a walk.
