Said Jace Quote by Cassandra Clare
““Tell Isabelle no.” “But she thinks it’s a good idea,” Alec protested. “Then tell her no twice .” Alec frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?” “Oh, just that some of Isabelle’s ideas are world-beaters and some are total disasters. Remember that idea she had about using abandoned subway tunnels to get around under the city? Talk about giant rats-” “Lets not,” said Simon. “I‘d rather not talk about rats at all, in fact.” “This is different,” said Alec. “She wants us to go to the Seelie Court.” “You‘re right, this is different,” said Jace. “This is her worst idea ever .” -Jace, Alec, & Simon, pg.145-””
