Quote by Cassandra Clare
One of the heavy marble busts that lined the higher shelves had slid free and was falling toward her; she ducked out of its way, and it hit the floor inches from where she'd been standing, leaving a sizable dent in the floor. A second later Jace's arms were around her and he was lifting her off her feet. She was too surprized to struggle as he carried her over to the broken window and dumped her unceremoniously out of it.
Summary
This quote depicts a perilous situation in which the protagonist narrowly avoids being struck by a falling marble bust. Jace, acting quickly, rescues the protagonist by swiftly lifting her and carrying her to safety. The suddenness and surprise of the moment prevent her from resisting. Ultimately, he tosses her out of the broken window, presumably to ensure her protection from any further harm.
