"People crept into the dining-saloon by ones and twos in a very subdued manner. There seemed a general feeling that to sit down eagerly to food displayed an unfortunate heartlessness. It was with an almost apologetic air that one passenger after another came and sat down at their tables."
Death on the Nile - Agatha Christie
"Now we're in the midst of not just advocating for change, not just calling for change - we're doing the grinding, sometimes frustrating work of delivering change - inch by inch, day by day." Barack Obama
Imaginary Place of the day:
Alastor's Cavern - somewhere in the Caucasus, amid crags and whirlpools, discovered by the dreamer Alastor after he left his home to seek strange truths in undiscovered lands. Travellers who have dreamt of a similar place are advised not to seek it, as the whole region seems to have the property of bringing despair and disappointment tho those who reach it.
