How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry.
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.”

“"Where's Simon?" Clary interrupted.
Isabelle wobbled. "He's a rat," she said darkly.
"Did he do something to you?" Alec was full of brotherly concern. "Did he touch you? If he tried anything-"

"So as to choose." said Isabel”

“What kind of guardian are you? Shouldn't you have gone to the bathroom with him?" Isabelle demanded.

"Simon," said Simon. "if I'm going to die for you all, the least you could do is remember my name."………

"Alright, everybody. Get over here. Sheldon's had an idea."
"Who's Sheldon?" Said Isabelle.”

“What? I thought you came down right on the side of go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollars. 'The Law is the Law, Isabelle.' What was all that you were spouting?”
