Page 317 US PB It is a strange thing, but when you
are dreading something, and would give anything to
slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding
up.

One of my favorite quotes:) And you're right, it's in
chapter 19, The Hungarian Horntail, so it's right
before he knows about the dragons...when he's still in
the dark about what he'll be facing.

Hope that helps,
