Chapter 11 pg.137
Britta: its all wonderful. I think this is better than any lowlander party.
Miri: Look at how you say 'lowlander' as if you were a mountain girl.
Britta: I'd like to be
Miri: Then you are, that's the only ceremony you need.
Chapter 11 pg. 136
Miri wanted to say something that mattered before he walked away. She blurted, "I won't tell anyone about your stone carving. But I think its wonderful, I think you're wonderful."
Peder let go of her braid
Chapter 11 pg.135
Miri held very still, afraid that if she moved she might spook Peder and like a lone wolf he would suddenly run off.
Chapter 11 pg. 135
"I can imagine you at the academy window, looking off toward the village," he said, "believing you could see it if you just looked hard enough. You always were a hawk, gazing at the mountains as if you could see a mouse running on a far hill, or at the sky as if you could count every feather on a sparrow's wing" Miri did not respond. She felt as though she were floating underwater, tipping and sinking. Did he watch her just as she watched him?
Chapter 11 pg. 134
Chapter 11 pg.132
"So you don't have to pound, and the only singing happens inside." She splayed her hand on the stone and without a song quarry-spoke to Peder It felt like whispering something right to his heart. When her vision shuddered, she shivered as well.
Miri swallowed. Quarry-speaking with Esa and Frid had felt like a game, but with Peder it became something intimate, like reaching for his hand, like looking into his eyes even when she had nothing to say. Hoping she was not blushing, she rapped her knuckles on the linder block and sang about a girl who carried drinking water in the quarry. She let the song guide her and began to match her thoughts to its rhythm, searching for a good memory to use, when Peder stopped her with a smile.
Chapter eleven pg. 131
Being near him made her insides feel like twisted vines, choking and blooming at the same time, and her only clear thought was that his smile was worth trudging for.
Chapter eleven pg 127 (via 1graves3)
Silly tale shouted by the girls.
Bena: The girl with no hair left home to wander holds where she was not known.
Liana: An eagle mistook her for its fallen egg and carried her up to its nest.
Frid: A quarrier plucked her from the eagle's nest, thinking her a good stone to break.
Frid pointed to Gerti.
The story continued, each academy girl selecting another to continue the tale. Miri inched up to sit on her heels, hoping to be seen. No one looked her way. Bena had three turns, and even Britta was chosen once, inventing a clever line about a bear mistaking her for a mushroom cap. Then
Esa shouted: last line
And pointed to Miri.
Miri stood, her smile impossible to hide.
Miri: With her bald head shining like a gold crown, a wandering prince mistook her for an academy princess and carried her away to his palace.
The crowd burst into cheers and laughter.
The grandfathers told the somber story of the creator god first speaking to people; then the mothers recited the one that began, "One lifetime ago bandits came to Mount Eskel."
Chapter 11
She saw Peder dancing with Bena and then Liana and had given up hoping when a new song began and she found him on the other end of her ribbon. She would have talked and teased and laughed with him, but his sudden appearance had startled her, and she did not know if she could keep up her carefree facade. Her gaze fell on the ground, her heart beating faster than the drums.
Frid's PA announced the ribbon dances with a strum of his three-stringed yipper, and Doter handed out the tattered red strips of cloth that were older than any grandparent.
Chapter 11 pg 124
I'll raise the ladle to your lips, Drip water on you fingertips, And stay although my heart says flee. Will you look up and smile at me?
Chapter eleven intro
Yay so ready for chapter eleven. Lol
Chapter ten pg 122
Miri clapped her hands together. “It must be true. I’ve been thinking that quarry-speech works in memories. If two people have the same memory, like Esa and me, then we might imagine the same scene. But if not, then the quarry-speech nudges the nearest memory.”
Chapter ten pg 120
“I guess we’ve been playing Wolf and Rabbit with Olana all along,” said Miri, “but when she picks on Esa, that’s an unfair touch. I’m glad we ran.”
"So am I," said Esa. "I was in the closet for sure."
Chapter ten pg 120
"Shouldn't we hurry?" Asked Gerti, looking over her shoulder. "What if the shoulders catch us?" "One of us is going to be the princess one day," said Miri. "What can they do, run us all through with their swords?"
