| efd5c83 | There are few families in this country who were not touched by the war through the service of sons, daughters or near relatives, and there are still fewer servicemen and women who are not indebted to our submariners in some way or other. I have in mind particularly the 504 airmen of all the services who were rescued from almost certain death of drowning, or worse, by the timely presence of life-guard submarines. | Charles A.

| 4607696 | Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, who had commanded the U.S. submarine campaign against Japan during World War II, later recalled his astonishment at hearing Abelson's briefing: "If I live to be a hundred, I shall never forget that meeting on March 28, 1946, in a large Bureau of Ships conference room, its walls lined with blackboards, which in turn were covered with diagrams, blueprints, figures and equations which Phil used to illustrate vari.. | Ed Offley | ||

| a2fb013 | Yeah," answered Matt smoothly, looking directly at Maude. "This one was a real fury. She yelled at me like a mad woman. I'm sure you could've heard her all the way to France." Maude" | Anna Adams | ||

I know not what thou art, But know that thou and I must part; And when, or how, or where we met, I own to me's a secret yet. But this I know, when thou art fled, Where'er they lay these limbs, this head, No clod so valueless shall be, As all that then remains of me. O whither, whither dost thou fly, Where bend unseen thy trackless course, And in this strange divorce, Ah tell .. | Adam L. Gowans | ||
| 5cf029c | Matt, would you come on tour with me?" she asked half-boldly, half-shyly. Matt heaved a deep sigh of relief. "I thought you'd never ask," he answered. Then he kissed her, and the bright, shimmering lights that illuminated the city exploded in a joyous, dancing array of fireworks. *****" | Anna Adams | ||

| 0ffdf80 | Maxime frowned upon being paired with his cousin, who wrapped his arm around his stiff shoulders and leaned in to kiss his cheek while Maxime resisted, holding him at arm's length. "Give your cousin a hug," Paul cooed. "If I do, I get to lead." Maxime fought to maintain a serious posture, but gave in with the hint of a smile. "No" -- | Anna Adams | ||
| 5773120 | So, you're Maxime," Aunt Mimi said, once they were in the living room. "You hate Americans?" Aria rolled her eyes in despair and looked to her father for help. Aunt Mimi had heard of a notion called tact, but had never deemed it to be compatible with honesty, her main motivation in life. "I used to ...?" Maxime answered uncertainly. "I'm a man hater," Aunt Mimi declared staunchly. "Are you a man?" "Absolutely not," Maxime answered with a hi.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 26da2f0 | James and Victoria were holding hands and beaming like proud parents. Cynthia, dignified as always, was trying to keep Ben from falling off his seat while he was waving madly at Maude. Jazmine, hands clasped, was sending all the positive energy she could muster from her seat. Maude | Anna Adams | ||
| ef4faaf | Maybe our conception of 'all' is ill conceived. But if by all you mean that I have to choose between love and ambition, I don't think they're incompatible. If they were, I would have to give up not only Matt, but also all the people I love, the Baldwins, the Williamses, and you. Yet you are all a part of what makes me strong. If I had to live without love once more, I don't think I could bear it. You've never been deprived of it, which is p.. | Anna Adams | ||

| 6662a3a | All this time I thought you were in love with her and I became her friend just for you." "She's manipulative really, that one. I'm glad I don't have to pretend anymore that ..." " All this for what? For some trashy girl you met in Deauville ..." "... I was in love with anyone else but you," Paul completed. Margot stopped short to catch her breath. "Me?" "Yes, you. Isn't that what she told you?" "She said you liked someone else. Aria refused.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 1d3afe7 | Suddenly a canoe appeared and in it a young boy with dark hair and sad eyes rowed toward Aria. She looked up only once the boat was close enough and brought her hand to her heart with joy. "Maxime," she whispered. With a gesture of his hand, he invited her to take a seat in his boat, which she promptly did. "I suppose you've heard by now that I was leaving." Aria nodded without speaking. "I couldn't leave without honoring my promise that I'.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 5e5dd22 | Had you asked me the question a couple of hours ago, I would have been silly enough to think that the only feelings I felt for you were those of friendship. I know now that your friendship is no longer what I want. I'm in love with you and the knowledge that you will be far from me next year breaks my heart." Maxime's eyes shone as she spoke. "I feel the same." He took her hand and pressed it lightly. "I promise you, we'll find a way to mak.. | Anna Adams | ||
| bd25f6d | Mrs. Ruchet was a big, imposing woman with short, curly, blonde hair tangled wildly around her oval face. She spent most of her days sitting on her couch, her two huge legs propped on a dark green cushion in front of her, watching soap operas on television, all the while hating the actresses for being so thin. | Anna Adams | ||
| 5147ae0 | I had every right because you're stubborn, and unless you saw it for yourself you wouldn't have believed me when I told you this direction you're taking is wrong. You told me once not to expect you to love all my songs but to expect honesty. I will return the same courtesy, and I refuse to falsely flatter your ego. I love you, Maude, but you can't expect me to agree with you, especially when you're making a huge mistake!" Maude" | Anna Adams | ||
| 809baa2 | I love you, Maude Laurent. I've loved you since the moment you poured that cup of coffee all over me and berated me in French and I haven't stopped since. I could say that I love your smile, your laugh, and your sunny disposition. But the truth is I love you more when you frown, when you glare, when you're mad as hell like you are right now. Love is too feeble a word to express how I feel. I love and need you in my life and I'd rather you b.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 25d07fa | Shouldn't he admit his feelings?" Maude called out to him. "What?" Matt asked. "The song," she reminded him. "If he's feeling so confused, I guess the best thing to do is admit them to the object of his affection," Maude suggested innocently. "What if he's afraid of rejection?" Matt asked gazing fondly at Maude who was presently making a brave attempt at skating backwards. He was surprised to feel the smallest hint of self-doubt. Maude was .. | Anna Adams | ||
| 05fd340 | I guess this is it then," Aria said regretfully. "Maybe strike days aren't so bad after all." "Maybe not," Maxime agreed. They" | Anna Adams | ||
| e5a4f2e | It isn't finished yet, but I thought we could work on it together, since you're supposed to be some sort of 'wizard with words' or something." "I'll ignore that last bit of sarcasm and pretend you just paid me a compliment," Matt declared, unaffected. Maude" | Anna Adams | ||
| 2a66c57 | You've got good taste. Though he seems way more obstinate than Matt ever was. I'd watch out." "I'm not interested in him," Aria said through gritted teeth. "I have a boyfriend." "We'll see," was all Maude answered" | Anna Adams | ||
| 8c2a2dd | Suddenly, she understood. Matt and she had never been friends. They were more, so much more. He drove her crazy. He was incessantly irritating, arrogant, and completely full of himself, but they also had crazy musical chemistry, and he was funny. He made her laugh, when he wasn't laughing at her that is. And she had feelings for him. Never would she have believed herself capable of falling for a guy with whom she couldn't spend over five mi.. | Anna Adams | ||
| 8217d82 | You're so eager to talk about love tonight. Why don't you tell Matt how you really feel about him? All this tiptoeing about all over London, Prague, Berlin, and Milan. What are you waiting for? The right time? You've had all the free time in the world ever since we worked things out. The right place? You're in it. Why don't you tell him how you feel?" Maude" | Anna Adams |
