"...an enchantment requires three things: a spell, an energy source, and a conduit."-Janet Hill, Lucy Crisp and the Vanishing House
"You see, a spell is essentially like a recipe. It needs ingredients - just as a loaf of bread will require flour, yeast, water, and sugar. But that bread isn't going to bake on its own unless you add the energy - or heat, so to speak."-Janet Hill, Lucy Crisp and the Vanishing House
"Lucy headed home, taking Charles Avenue over to Oak Grove, where some of the loveliest gardens in town resided. She walked alen the sidewalk, lingering longer in the shady patches, admiring the rose-bushes in riotous palettes of red, pink, yellow, and mauve. They spilled out over fences, showy and untamed, perfuming the air with their spicy-sweet scent. She understood that such inflated beauty was likely the result of witchcraft, but that didn't lessen its allure."-Janet Hill, Lucy Crisp and the Vanishing House
