It was natural, Henry reflected, that New York, being so well supplied with all the necessities of life, should not be lacking in persons whose mental furniture was sliding on the polished floors of their intelligence.”
Margaret Scherf, The Diplomat and the Gold Piano

“Nothing makes a man feel more heroic than lying on the floor while his wife captures a criminal with a poinsettia”
Margaret Scherf, The Diplomat and the Gold Piano

“The two officers seemed more puzzled by Emily's costume than by the presence of a corpse in the Mercedes. Perhaps corpses were more regular.”
