A quote for anyone who loves reading as much as I do.
From "The Mysterious Benedict Society".
The others fell silent and looked at him. Reynie had begun to pace and whisper to himself. "Become what we're not...to become Messengers faster...and Mr. Benedict KNOWS that we're not,because...yes, I think I have it!"
Kate shone her flashlight at Reynie, who stopped in his tracks. His exultant expression shifted into one of doubt, and he squinted uncomfortably in the flashlight beam. He cleared his throat, hesitated, and cleared his throat again.
"Well?" Constance demanded. "What's the big idea?"
At last Reynie managed to come out with it. And it was no wonder the others hadn't thought of it themselves, for what Reynie suggested was something that would never have occurred to them, something quite foreign to their natures, something none of them had ever attempted.
They must learn how to cheat.
