Shirley Jackson Quotes

It Was Important To Choose The Exact Device To Drive Charles Away. An Imperfect Magic, Or One Incorrectly Used, Might Only Bring More Disaster Upon Our House. I Thought Of My Mother's Jewels, Since This Was A Day Of Sparkling Things, But They Might Not Be Strong On A Dull Day, And Constance Would Be Angry If I Took Them Out Of The Box Where They Belonged, When She Herself Had Decided Against It. I Thought Of Books, Which Are Always Strongly Protective, But My Father's Book Had Fallen From The Tree And Let Charles In; Books, Then, Were Perhaps Powerless Against Charles. I Lay Back Against The Tree Trunk And Thought Of Magic; If Charles Had Not Gone Away Before Three Days I Would Smash The Mirror In The Hall.
