Since my books are pretty hard...

1)  In the meantime, he was strengthening his own faction in the kingdom, of which he proposed to dispute the succession, in case of the kings death, with the legitimate heir, Arthur, Duke of Brittany, son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, the elder brother of John.

^This one is already confirmed to be Ivanhoe^

2)  It stuck in his trunk.

^This one's title has the name of a great Bible man in it^

3) (As this one was going to be a rather hard, 'No!, I decided to add half of the next sentence for help) 'No!  I only thought it seemed rather unfair,' said ????, gently; but she did not end her sentence, 

^This one's title is the name of a girl in the Bible^

4)  He did not do this as a physician, however; and for this distemper "only thou canst heal, who resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble".

^No hint for this one; it's already too easy^

5)  His idea of luxury was to spend a night in such surroundings.

^This one features a cat as well as the mouse^

6)  "They're going to finally let you out of here?"

^This one was made into a movie^

7)  My sister and I went out to greet them and my father and mother took the girl inside.

^Come on!!^ (just the name of the indian woman would do)

8)  There, I found my mother, very pale and with red eyes; into whose arms I ran, and begged her pardon from my suffering soul.

#6 is really hard, so I will give a few extra hints. It gave one actor his start and the person saying the quote has the curious name of Magnet.

#2 is King Soloman's Mines
#3 is Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell
#4 I'm guessing that 4 is Confessions by Augustine, but I really have very little idea.
#7 is Streams to the River, River to the Sea
#9 is How Green was my Valley
#6 is really really hard.

Annabelle said...

Good job, Miss Sarah!
All right. Come on, Noah, and guess #6 and #5!
Hee hee...

Noah said...

Magnet? Huh?

I think 5 is A Cricket in Times Square? Maybe?

Bessinger Family said...

Is #6 maybe The Count of Monte Cristo?

Annabelle said...

Yes, Noah, you are right. Sorry B Fam, it's not Count of Monte Cristo.
Another hint for #6: they are not being let out of jail, but they are being held somewhere...

The only book I know of with a person named (or nick named) Magnet in it is The Pathfinder. Is that it?

Annabelle said...

Lamb Family, I am afraid that the book isn't Pathfinder. The book is a newer book, written by Louis Sachar. That should give the answer away.
