    “I'm afraid!" She cried breaking free from his embrace.
    But this time, he refused to let her go.  "No, no, no, you're not afraid of me!  What am I...a foot and half taller than you and out weigh you by 130 pounds, how could you possibly be afraid of me!" He laughed.”

    “Charlie said your friend’s disappeared,” chirped Wendy.
    “No, he hasn’t.” Adam denied it. “He’s in the house. Now, look, what’s all this you’ve been telling them?”
    “Nothing, I haven’t told them anything.” Charlie looked drunk.
    “He said you’ve turned your friend into a crayfish,” insisted Wendy.
    “He’s always making little jokes like that, and you fell for it. How am I supposed to do that, for heaven’s sake?” Adam was angry.
    “With your little book you found. What’s that under your arm?”
    ― Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

Will you marry me?” “I think I’d love to, Stan.” Of course she would; in all the world she knew, she would never find a better man than Stanton Laird. She turned to him, and kissed him very fondly.”
