Quote by Cassandra Clare
Nice work in there, Herondale, setting the place on fire, Gabriel observed. Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation. Are you implying that shreds of my reputation remain intact? Will demanded with mock horror. Clearly I have done something wrong. Or not doing something wrong as the case may be. He banged on the side of the carriage. Thomas! We must away at once to the nearest brothel! I seek scandal and low companionship.
Summary
In this quote from a conversation between Gabriel, Will, and Thomas in the book, one character, Gabriel, sarcastically acknowledges that a fire caused by another character, Herondale, would have ruined their plan entirely. Will responds with irony, feigning shock that any shreds of his reputation could still be intact. Will's exaggeration and humor shine through as he fabricates a desire for scandal and low companionship to further emphasize the absurdity of his statement.
