Quotes
Like most other beings, Hamish had heard the stories. One version suggested that the witches had stolen the precious book from the vampires, a book that contained the secret of immortality. Another claimed that the vampires had carved an ancient book of spells from the witches and had lost it. Some whispered that it was not a book of spells at all, but a beginner's book, which dealt with the basic features of all four human-like species on Earth.
»Tror du virkelig, at dette alkymistiske manuskript er din bog?« spurgte Hamish. Da Matthew nikkede, sukkede Hamish. »Så er det ikke så mærkeligt, at heksene sladrede om det. Hvordan fandt de ud af, at Diana havde fundet det?«
Matthew drejede rasende hovedet. »Hvem ved, og hvem interesserer sig for det? Problemerne begyndte, fordi de ikke kunne holde mund.«
Matthew had his own theories about what the book contained. An explanation of why vampires were so hard to kill, and accounts of the past history of humans and beings were only a small part of it.
"Do you really think this alchemical manuscript is your book?"Hamish asked. When Matthew nodded, Hamish sighed. "Then it's no wonder the witches were gossiping about it. How did they find out that Diana had found it?«
Matthew turned his head furiously. "Who knows, and who cares? The problems began because they could not keep their mouths shut.«
Hamish was once again reminded that Matthew and his family really didn't care about witches.
