Quote
  • Tallkit felt a quiver of pride. His father looked strong and determined, as if there was no hole he couldn’t dig, no earth he couldn’t shape with his paws.
  • The first rule of tunnelling is that you’re always stronger than you think.
  • I was lucky I made it out. There was no way I could have helped Sandgorse. He’s the one with all the skills. He shouldn’t have taken me down there. He should have known it was too dangerous.
  • Sandgorse was a great planner. He could pick out a route overground, then dig it exactly the same underground, paw step for paw step. He knew the tunnels under this moor better than any other tunneler. But he hated worms. […] Every time we hit worm soil, he’d send his tunnelmate in first. He always said he’d rather be plastered whisker to tail in clay than get a worm under his claw.
  • We always work in twos. If there’s a cave-in, you never leave your companion. It’s the most important rule of tunnelling. Another cat’s life is as precious as your own. Never forget it for a moment.
  • Sandgorse’s eyes were bright with exhilaration. Had he enjoyed racing the river? Tallpaw winced. His father had even more courage than he thought.
  • I give you this life for forgiveness. No death need ever be avenged. Forgiveness brings peace far more surely than vengeance.
  • "I had no training. Your father knew that. He gave his life so that I could escape. That's why he died. He held back the earth long enough for me to run. He died a hero, Talltail."
