6. `And they had a battle?' I asked.

`Certainly they said - and won it.The most decisive victory so far in the campaign. Well then, of course, the Colonel, old Whatsisname - Rush - something - was mad with rage, mad as could be.

18. `I don't know how you can work in this shambles, Samantha.' Ketterman's voice is thin and sarcastic, and his eyes entirely without humor.

`At least everything is to hand!' I attempt a little laugh, but Ketterman looks stony. Flustered, I pull out my chair, and a pile of letters which i've forgotten about falls in a shower to the floor [UG, 21].

19. `Hi' I say as he gets near.

`Hi! I could do with some help. If you're at a loose end.'I guess I could wander down and offer him a helping hand. It would be polite.

23. `Selden's been a big help to me,Victor,' Wendy said` Who did an amaizing job,' she concluded.

`Wen...' Jenny murmured. `I am tired. I want to come to your house for dinner tonight.

Wendy patted Jenny's arm.

` You'll never have the kids. I'll make sure of it.' [LJ, 317].

29. `Look, Nico,' he exclaimed proudly, I bought all these purses, on the street. Now that'a good deal.'

41. Democrats acknowledge that with their minuscule majority in the Senate and one in the House that is not much larger, they lack the political muscle to go too far in reversing Bush policy even if that was their chief goal.

49. `This board remains intact; everybody keeps his job. The company does tomorrow what it did last week.'

This sounded fine, but no one believed it. Ownership of the company was about to change hands. Troy had never believed in sharing stock in The Phelan Group.

51. Dickie said, `The paper says he signed a will just before he died. Is it true?'

Troy Junior was already looking at the slick brochures for the latest models. `Yes. I was there. He divided his estate into six pieces, one for each of us.' He said this without looking up, quite casually, as if the money were already in hand, and already becoming a burden [T, 149].

52. `Come on, Valdir, money is not problem here. Tell me he's being taken care of.' `He is in good hands. But the hospital is a little different from yours' [T, 176].

53. His body had purged the fevers and chemicals. He was well fed, alert, rested. He was his old self again, and that suddenly depressed him. The present was back, hand in hand with the future. The burdens he'd left with Rachel had found him again, found him then and there in the chapel. He needed her to sit with him, to hold his hand and help him pray [T, 199].

54. `Well, then you must join us for lunch.'

The aggressive hospitality made Nate laugh.

`No, I insist. My wife makes a lamb stew every time it snows. It's on the stove now. We have so few guests in the wintertime.

Nate was in the hands of a man who'd shared his Sunday table with hundreds [T, 257].

60. `However,' Jon continues, `as all of you know, in London today, security is of prime consideration. Many developments talk about security; we wanted you to see it first hand. This system is M15 quality - and it's here for your protection' He pauses, and a few people laugh nervously.

`We hope you enjoyed our security demonstration. Rest assured, we are not under attack from robbers.' [RM, 301].
