Quotes 

• Poppy Proudfellow : Can we turn back now? There's 110 things out here that could kill us.

  Nori Brandyfoot : Hundred-eleven if you count you worrying to death.

  Poppy Proudfellow : You know the rules. We're not supposed to be out this far.

  Nori Brandyfoot : Don't be... If we didn't do everything we weren't supposed to, we'd hardly do anything at all.

• Marigold Brandyfoot : You went to the old farm again. Didn't you?

  Nori Brandyfoot : I was careful.

  Marigold Brandyfoot : But the children might not be.

  Nori Brandyfoot : I'm sorry, I didn't know. We never get hunters up here before the harvest. Or wolves. I wonder if there's trouble down south.

  Marigold Brandyfoot : And what concern is that of yours, Elanor Brandyfoot?

  Nori Brandyfoot : Haven't you ever wondered? What else is out there? How far the river flows or where the sparrows learn the new songs they sing in spring? I can't help but feel there's wonders in this world. Beyond our wanderin'.

  Marigold Brandyfoot : I've told you. Countless times. Elves have forests to protect. Dwarves, their mines. Men, their fields of grain. Even trees have to worry about the soil beneath their roots. But we Harfoots are free from the worries of the wide world. We are but ripples in a long, long stream. Our paths set by the passing seasons. Nobody goes off trail and nobody walks alone. We have each other. We're safe. That is how we survive.

• Largo Brandyfoot : How fare thee?

  Nori Brandyfoot : Well and well, Father.

  Largo Brandyfoot : And look at her! You found all that down by the riverbank, did you?

  Nori Brandyfoot : Mm-hmm.

  Largo Brandyfoot : Did you hear about the travelers?

  Nori Brandyfoot : Travelers?

  Largo Brandyfoot : Mm-hmm. Hunters. Two of them. Big as great boulders. Right up on that ridge.

  Nori Brandyfoot : I can't believe I missed them.

  Largo Brandyfoot : Well, maybe you ought to stick closer to home. That way you don't miss anything, hmm?

• Sadoc Burrows : First the big people, now the stars. Eyes open when they should be sleeping. Almost like... like they're watching for something.

  Nori Brandyfoot : [peeking over the edge of his book]  Watching for what?

  Sadoc Burrows : [jumping in surprise]  A tongue-lashing, if you don't mind your own cartwheels.

  Nori Brandyfoot : What is it? What do you see up there?

  Sadoc Burrows : Elanor Brandyfoot, with your father's nose, and always poking it into trouble, you are far too curious and meddlesome to have been born a Harfoot. Are you quite certain you're not part squirrel?
