    Patrick G. Cox
    “That damned Hurker! He had the neck to suggest to me today that he could find a buyer for our plant—if he was made a partner!”
    “I hope you told him what to do with that suggestion!”
    “I did. Told him I wasn’t selling, but if he wanted to buy a share he should talk to my legal adviser.” Marcus straightened in his chair and wiped his hands across his face. “And he told me that I had forty eight hours to reconsider my answer, or shipping might prove very difficult—and that there would be some queries initiated over my use of a dome now owned by CalBank!”
    Patrick G Cox, First into the Fray

    “Inside he was hurt. Not so much with Linda, but his failure to impress women generally with his abilities.

    Eli Wilde
    “I picked up a fallen branch and struck a tree with it. Apples fell from the tree. The rope around one of the skeletons gave way and it fell to the ground. It lay there, crumpled and bent in ridiculous angles. I wondered if the person who the skeleton used to live inside would be embarrassed if he or she could see themselves now. I looked around the area but didn’t see any ghosts. Why would I see a ghost? They didn’t exist. Still, I looked a second time.”
    Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

    Richard  Adams
    “Like the pain of a bad wound, the effect of a deep shock takes some while to be felt.

    Richard Adams, Watership Down
