"'I'm afraid,' said the little girl setting on the bed. 'Grandfather, can you stay with me?' Aloyius Starkweather made an impatient noise in the back of his throat as he drew a chair closer to the beside and seated himself. The impatient noise was only part in earnest. It pleased him that his granddaughter was so trusting of him that often he was the only one who could calm her. His gruff demeanor had never bothered her, despite her delicate nature." -Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
