• It's a wonderful feeling to have a niece like you
  Because you are always so dear
  You are so dear no matter the year
  But all throughout each day of the year

  could throw a brick without hitting the niece of a bishop.

• Anything's possible in Human Nature," Chacko said in his Reading Aloud voice. Talking to the darkness now, suddenly insensitive to his little fountain-haired niece. "Love. Madness. Hope. Infinite joy." Of the four things that were Possible in Human Nature, Rahel thought that Infinnate Joy sounded the saddest. Perhaps because of the way Chacko said it. Infinnate Joy.

• When I go to Florida for Christmas I always take my nieces and nephews out on excursions, ... I become like a big kid again.
