Here are the quotations for the coming week
(August 17th to 23rd):
1. 'I don't mind the trouble so much, though that
was bad enough; but what I resent is this showing
up in print. It wll stick to me like a burr all thorugh
my service... It's too bad of you ...
'I don't know ... have you ever been stuck with a
horse ?'
2. 'You hit hard ... His own people think he's mad.'
'You don't say so ? I'll show you some of his
letters tonight at dinner.
3. '...Look at her from here and tell us how many
spots you count now'.
The sources of last week's extracts (August 10th
to 16th) are as follows:
1. ('He told me' he said suddenly, ' that my home
address was Jerusalem. You heard that ?' ...) This
is from "The Village that Voted the Earth was Flat"
in A Diversity of Creatures.
2. ('If you don't stop, I shall come into your house -
in this car - and drive upstairs and - kill you !'...)
This is from "The Vortex" in A Diversity of
Creatures.
3. (The stuff was getting in its work. Bluey, white,
and blue again rolled over the navvy's face in
waves...) This from "My Sunday at Home" in The
Day's Work.
Good wishes to all, John R
