Summary
Bartimaeus is well acquainted with the feeling of being summoned. He's even familiar with the feeling of being summoned by this particular magician.
That doesn't make him any happier about it.
"You know," he drawls, taking his common gargoyle form, "I've never heard of the dead being able to summon a spirit before."

Summary
On the days when her palms were covered with caustic calluses and her head hung unbearably heavy on her shoulders, Asmira had to think of her mother. One of her earliest memories, covered in a thin layer of fog, fragments scattered in all directions: her own feet, bare and stained from the hot earth, with grains of sand scattered between her toes, soaking her deep in each of their thousand pieces. Her mother walked in front of her, untouched by their chaotic movement, as if the sands were a paved path, a patch of clear sky. Several knives were tucked into her belt, low enough to grab with one swift movement of her hand, yet high enough that she could not reach them. Different shapes, materials and sizes, they glistened in the bright morning sun, and in her possession they looked quite innocent, not unlike tame wild snakes.

Summary
I tilted my head, and the reflection repeated my movement in synchronous unison, not a moment behind. Something inside me clenched, tied in an unpleasant, tight knot somewhere in my stomach, and then sent a deceptive tingle across my skin. I went forward, a step or two closer, looking at the unnatural fade of the colours, the pervasive absence of any shades. The complete dominance of painful, all-absorbing order in every tiny detail, down to the symmetry of the threads of the shaggy fabric, the even prints on my fingertips.

Summary
Demons don't sleep. It's a well-known fact, described in beginner's books, right next to the paragraphs about how they also don't need any kind of drink or food. However, the way Faquarl's head dropped to its shoulder almost involuntarily reminded him of his own slumber, light and shaky. Nathaniel hurriedly shook off the comparison as if it were liquid poison. There could be nothing similar between them.
And yet, a part of him wondered what such a bloodthirsty creature could be thinking about when it wasn't busy lying, deceiving, and magically dismantling the bodies of other poor people's souls.
