| ddc98c4 | He stared down at her for a moment, wanting to heal every cut on her soft skin. But he couldn't, not yet. He needed to get her, and her car, far from this place so neither he nor Kate would be implicated in any way with the gruesome murder site. It also meant he would have to drive. In all his years, he had never driven an automobile. The closest he had come was watching various assistants through the years as they chauffeured him. He wasn'.. | Lisa Kessler | ||
| a9fb0c3 | You're saying you have spidey sense? Can you also shoot webs out of your wrist to swing from building to building?" He raises an eyebrow. "No, Anna. I cannot. And I really can't believe I'm taking crap from the girl who speaks to dead people." -- | Rysa Walker | ||
| 9a36b8c | Things settled into a lazy pattern. School, chores, and long hours down by the river. Kiernan talked about the books he read sometimes, even loaned me a few. But I liked it better when he read to me or just told me the stories. The words were more real that way, more exciting. Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, Ragged Dick, and all the others seemed flat and dull on the page, but Kiernan was good at making them come alive. | the-chronos-files | Rysa Walker | |
| 9d4b052 | But what if it can't be fixed?" I ask before I even realize I'm going to speak. "Or if I can't fix it without hurting even more people?" Sister Elba pauses to close the armonica case and then walks toward the steps, stopping a few short feet away from the bench where she will die. "People faced those kinds of decisions every day during the War and after. It's a hard lesson in life, but you have to accept that some things are out of your han.. | Rysa Walker | ||

| e5a83d3 | Pru shrugs. "I wasn't sure how long they'd hold our reservation." A sly grin spreads over her face. "I thought maybe you and Kiernan were just catching up on old times. Although I guess that might have been awkward with your new guy around." Mom chokes on her tea and gives me a questioning look. I start to respond, but Trey beats me to it. "Perhaps," he says in a level voice, staring directly at Pru. "But no more awkward than sitting across.. | Rysa Walker | ||

| 88d623f | Waiting politely won't get you across the street in Boston," he informs me, "at least not in 1905. There aren't any of those blinking idiot signs that show a hand and count down the seconds for you." | Rysa Walker | ||
| c3346fa | It's like Niemoller said, if you ignore it when they're taking rights from everyone else, pretty soon they'll come after yours, and there's no one left to protest. | Rysa Walker | ||

| 67eeb9d | Jd_O wti d-d- God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. -GENESIS 1:31 As we look at life, are we bound to the idea that bad things happen to people? Look at all the bad news on television and radio. The newspapers are full of disasters: people dying of illness, accidents, drownings, fires destroying property, uprisings in countries abroad, and on and on. Do you so.. | Emilie Barnes | ||
| a605f20 | My only intention is that they live without fear of me, that they may trust me and that I may give them happiness, not sorrow. Furthermore, they should understand that the king will forgive those who can be forgiven, and that he wishes them to practise Dharma so that they can attain happiness in this world and the next. I am telling you this so that I may discharge the debts I owe, and that in instructing you, you may know that my vow and m.. | Charles Allen | ||
| 6f15bd3 | As the first civilian governor of Puerto Rico, Charles Herbert Allen used his governorship to acquire an international sugar empire and a controlling interest in the entire Puerto Rican economy. No one stopped him. Why should they? It's only Chinatown. | Nelson Denis | ||
| 193a3f1 | Charles L. Allen once said, "When you say a person or situation is hopeless, you are slamming a door in the face of God." Ouch. It is easy to focus on the doors being slammed (rejection, illness, fatigue, failures) and not see things from God's perspective. He never leaves us." | Celeste Palermo | ||
| f4233b2 | The role played by women in history is as underwritten in India as anywhere, so it is only right to end with a mention of another woman of Kerala whose part in its history has only recently been publicly recognised. Her name was Velathu Lakshmikutty and she died in 2013 at the fine old age of 102 (see page 297). In 1952 she organised and led a march by women against the Manimalarkavu temple in Velur, Cochin, which - unbelievable as it seems.. | Charles Allen | ||
| dbec675 | As they approached Dhauli the elephant refused to go forward; nothing that Mark or the mahout did could persuade her to cross the open ground in front of them. Only then did Mark learn that they had come to the Kalinga battlefield, on which hundreds of war elephants are said to have died. | Charles Allen | ||
| 9c0f37d | She had been maimed by an illness that was so far out of fashion it might have been a wartime recipe for pink blancmange made from cornflour when everyone these days ate real chocolate mouse and tiramisu. TB was Spam fritters and two-bar electric fires and mangles and string bags and French knitting and a Bakelite phone in a freezing hall and loose tea and margarine and the black of the newspaper coming off on your fingers and milk in glass.. | Linda Grant | ||
| b92b398 | God, help me. Help me to be wise and full of courage and sound judgment. Harden my heart to the sights that I must see so soon again, grant me only the power to think clearly, boldly, resolutely, no matter how unnerving the peril. Let me not fail them. | Anton Myrer | ||

If they're right and she was murdered, will that change the way they look at me? It might provide cover for me and Ralphie. The article had said that the Cleopatra necklace was missing. That means the killer probably got into Lady Em's safe. Unless he's caught, nobody will know how much j.. | Mary Higgins Clark | ||

| f107b0c | Once home [in 1838], Albert prepared a small album of scenes he had drawn on the journey, a dried 'Rose des Alpes, and a scrap of Voltaire's handwriting he had obtained from an old servant of the philosopher at Verney, and posted the souvenir to Victoria.
