"His glance softened as it rested on one particular couple. A well-matched pair - tall broad-shouldered man, slender delicate girl. Two bodies that moved in perfect rhythm of happiness. Happiness in the place, the hour, and in each other."
Death on the Nile - Agatha Christie
"If you can't fly the run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." Martin Luther King
Word of the day:
Poltergeist - (noun) a ghost or spirit supposed to manifest its presence by noises, knockings, etc.
* "Do you know what a poltergeist is, Mr. Arkwright?" Mr. Arkwright allows a scornful interval to pass, while he slowly mops the counter. His silence does not connote hesitation. "Yes, sir".
Iris Murdoch, The Sea, The Sea, 1978.
* I didn't want to foresee death or slide backwards in time or even do something so mundane as trigger poltergeist activity.
Susan Howatch, The Wonder Worker, 1997.
