Quote by Cassandra Clare
Charlotte, darling, Henry said to his wife, who was staring at im in gape-mouthed horror. Jassamine, beside her, was wided eyed. Sorry im late. You know, i think i might nearly have the sensor working- Will interrupted. Henry, he said, your on fire. You do know that, don't you? Oh, yes, Henry said eagerly. The flames were now nearly to his shoulder. I've been working like a man possessed all day. Charlotte, did you hear what i said about the sensor? Charlotte dropped her hand from her mouth. Henry! She shrieked. Your arm! Henry glanced down at his arm, and his mouth dropped open.Bloody hell!
Summary
In this quote, Henry is so absorbed in his work and excited about the progress he has made with the sensor that he fails to realize that he is literally on fire. Despite the horrified reactions of his wife, Charlotte, and Jassamine, Henry remains oblivious until it is pointed out to him by his friend, Will. This humorous and ironic situation highlights the single-minded dedication and passion Henry has for his work, demonstrating how it can sometimes lead to neglecting other important aspects of life, such as personal safety.
