de6d593 Yes, Ermintrude." I muster a smile. "Ermintrude the hamster." The spotlight finally moves off me, and Dix Donahue comes to the end of his speech, and I look up to see Luke giving me a little wink as he approaches through the crowd. "I'll get you a new hamster this Christmas, darling," he says over the sound of applause. "We'll fight the discrimination together. If you can be brave enough, so can I." Sophie Kinsella

75ae00e They just go on and on. The most extraordinary one is this one I found on a gossip site: Becky "drank cocktails" before row, bartender reports I mean, for God's sake. What does that have to do with anything? They might as well write LOIS AND SAGE VISITED BATHROOM ON DAY OF ROW. They probably will write that." Sophie Kinsella

758948c Yes!" I perk up. "Actually, I was wondering, do the mothers have lots of coffee mornings, parties, that kind of thing?" Erica shoots me an odd look. "I meant socialization of the children." "Right." I clear my throat. "The children. Of course." Sophie Kinsella

ac229c5 This is stupid. How am I supposed to predict which T-shirts I'm going to want to wear? The whole point about T-shirts is you choose them in the morning according to your mood, like crystals, or aromatherapy oils. Imagine if I woke up in the mood for my "Elvis Is Groovy" T-shirt and I didn't have it with me?" Sophie Kinsella
8f553aa Wir haben eine Verabredung getroffen. Luke kauft sich kein Auto, und ich kaufe mir keine neuen Sachen. Jedenfalls nicht bis Oktober. - Aber Bex! - Suze sieht richtig besorgt aus. - Ist das fur dich nicht ungesund? Ich meine, ist es nicht ungesund, wenn man einfach so auf Totalentzug gesetzt wird?

b99b9f0 You look a little lost, my dear,' a nun says behind me, and I jump. 'Were you interested in seeing the Bevington Triptych?' 'Oh,' I say. 'Erm... yes. Absolutely.' 'Up there,' she points, and I walk tentatively towards the front of the chapel, hoping it will become obvious what the Bevington Triptych is. A statue, maybe? Or a.. a piece of tapestry?

Ci ho passato sei settimane quando i miei genitori si sono resi conto che in me c'era veramente qualcosa che non andava.

1cbb6c1 Eye contact is a big deal. It's the biggest deal. Just the thought makes me feel sick, right down to my core. I know in my rational head that eyes are not frightening.

It's OK to say, "I'm not going to share that." So, if you don't.. Sophie Kinsella
