Quote #10
"You are hungry," said the voice in the night, and it was no longer Lettie's voice, not any longer. It might have been the voice inside my own head, but it was speaking aloud. "You are tired. Your family hates you. You have no friends. And Lettie Hempstock, I regret to tell you, is never coming back." (12.89)
Clever little shadow—the voice knows exactly how to hit him where it counts: his loneliness. If Lettie's really never coming back, he doesn't have any other friends, and his family is all bewitched by Ursula Monkton, then his case really is hopeless, and he might as well just leave the fairy circle to die.
