it’s less than a week till my birthday, so I made myself a little present
"Mr Norrell had worked himself up into such a frenzy of anxiety over Vinculus's supposed magic powers that this explanation had at first little power to soothe him. "Oh!" he said. "But still I am certain that he means me harm. Indeed he has done me great harm already."
"Yes," agreed Childermass, "very great harm! For while he was in the pantry he ate three meat-pies."
"And two cream cheeses," added Lucas.
Mr Norrell was forced to admit to himself that this did not seem much like the action of a great magician."

Mr Norrell frowned at his pupil. "I am sure I have recommended it to you a dozen times," he said. Have you not read it yet?"
Unfortunately, Mr Norrell did not always recall with absolute precision which books he wished Strange to read and which books he had sent to Yorkshire for the express purpose of keeping them out of Strange's reach. The Liber Novus was safe on a shelf in the library at Hurtfew Abbey. Strange sighed and remarked that the moment Mr Norrell put the book into his hand he would be very glad to read it.

I have a scholar's love of silence and solitude. To sit and pass hour after hour in idle chatter with a roomful of strangers is to me the worst sort of torment –
Susanna Clarke, from 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell'

“In both novels I’ve written there’s been one character who has turned up and said to me, ‘It’s OK. Relax. I’ve got this.’ In Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell it was Childermass. Whenever he appeared in a scene I felt like he pulled up a chair for me to sit down, made me a cup of tea, and told me he would handle everything. And then he pretty much wrote the scene for me. I loved Childermass. (I still do.) In Piranesi there was a character a little bit like that, but he was a very different person from Childermass and I didn’t exactly love him. It was the Prophet. When the Prophet appeared he waved me airily aside and then just wrote his own dialogue. I had to type really fast to keep up. And when he had finished, he looked round and smiled, like he was saying, ‘That’s the way it’s done.’ And then he strutted off.”
