“All men are fools when it comes to love,’ the doctor murmured.”
John Pilkington, The Witching Pool: A Justice Belstrang Mystery

“Thomas stepped out first and extended a hand to help Lady Margaret ashore. As she climbed on to the step, she held out a shilling to the waterman. ‘That’s for your pains - and my pleasure.’ The man took the coin, grinned broadly and doffed his hat. ‘I’ll drink to your health tonight, my lady,’ he called, and pushed expertly off into the stream.”
John Pilkington, The Ruffler's Child

“Logic is often cast aside, when fear and superstition run unchecked,’ my friend said.”
John Pilkington, The Witching Pool: A Justice Belstrang Mystery
