“Calm down, Horus said."Don't tell me to calm down!"Bast frowned. "I didn't.""Talking to him!" I pointed at my forehead.”

“Hang on," Sadie said. She stomped right up to the throne. Ammit growled at her, but Sadie growled back, which confused the monster into silence. "What are you?" she demanded. "My dad? Osiris? Are you even alive?" Dad looked at Anubis. "What did I tell you about her? Fiercer than Ammit, I said." "You didn't need to tell me." Anubis's face was grave."I've learned to fear that sharp tongue." Sadie looked outraged. "excuse me?”

“Oh, god,” I said. “Sorry, sorry. Do I die now?”--Sadie to Zia”

“Right.” Sadie looked dazed. “You’ve got a monkey butler. Why not?”

“If I've got the powers of a god, then why am I so...""Lame?" Sadie suggested."Shut up," I said.”

“Maybe—just maybe—Sadie had my best interests at heart. (I just caught her making faces at me, so maybe not.)”
