Teaser Tuesday

“She knows nothing of her body’s interior, nothing; and there is nothing she wants to know. Her loneliness, though it aches, is not particularly physical; it hangs in the air, weighs on the furniture, permeates the bed-linen.”

-page 219 from The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

Teaser Tuesday

“Miss Matty made no secret of being an arrant coward, but she went regularly through her housekeeper’s duty of inspection – only the hour became earlier and earlier, till at last we went the rounds at half-past six, and Miss Matty adjourned to bed soon after seven, ‘in order to get the night over the sooner’.”

“Miss Matty undid the packet with a sigh; but she stifled it directly, as if it were hardly right to regret the flight of time, or of life either.”

“‘Men say,’ Liz reaches for her scissors, ‘”I can’t endure it when women cry” – just as people say “I can’t endure this wet weather.” As if it were nothing to do with men at all, the crying. Just one of those things that happen.’”

Teaser Tuesdays: Jeeves in the Offing by P.G. Wodehouse

“When Reason returned to its throne, I found that Bobbie, no doubt feeling after that resounding crash that she was better elsewhere, had left me and that I was closely entangled in the chair, my position being in some respects similar to that of Kipper Herring when he got both legs wrapped round his neck in Switzerland. It seemed improbable that I would ever get loose without the aid of powerful machinery.”

“It was in quite fairly tense mood that I dried and clothed the person, and while it would perhaps be too much to say that as I entered the sitting-room some quarter of an hour later I was atwitter, I was unquestionably conscious of a certain jumpiness. When Jeeves came in with the shaker, I dived at it like a seal going after a slice of fish and drained a quick one, scarcely pausing to say ‘Skin off your nose’.”
