    “Do you know where Jean de Tournet is?” Jason asked.
    “He is dead, Uncle,” Charlotte said flatly.
    “How do you know?”
    “I killed him in 1943. He was doing business with the Nazis. He tried to rape me” – she stopped and shivered – “but I killed him before he could.”
    Jason and Sophie both looked at Charlotte with horror. This was the first time Jason had showed any genuine emotion throughout the evening. It was fear.”
    ― Hugo Woolley, The Wasp Trap

    ― che Guevara, Guerrilla Warfare

    Louis de Bernières
    “He frowned and tutted as he swabbed the vomit from the man’s robes, and transferred his irritation to Pelagia’s goat, which had entered the room and leapt up onto the table. ‘Stupid brute,’ he shouted at it, and it looked at him impudently with its slotted eyes, as if to say, ‘I, at least, am not drunk. I am merely mischievous.”
