Human kindness is like a defective tap, the first gush may be impressive but the stream soon dries up. ------------------------ In 1930s mysteries, all sorts of motives were credible which aren't credible today, especially motives of preventing guilty sexual secrets from coming out. Nowadays, people sell their guilty sexual secrets. ------------------------ It was not... that she was unaware of the frayed and ragged edges of life. She would merely iron them out with a firm hand and neatly hem them down. ------------------------ It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life. ------------------------ No one has it who isn't capable of genuinely liking others, at least at the actual moment of meeting and speaking. ------------------------ She was a buxom grandmother noted for her detective stories, who gazed mournfully at the camera as if deploring either the bloodiness of her craft or the size of her advance. ------------------------ What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give. |
