Book cover for The Murder at World's End (Stockingham & Pike, #1)
By May 16, as Stephen was stepping onto the train at Paddington to start his two-day journey to Cornwall, the comet was a mere 12 million miles away and things were beginning to get out of hand.

P.G. Wodehouse
“I hadn't the heart to touch my breakfast. I told Jeeves to drink it himself.”
P.G. Wodehouse

Joan Didion
“...I think we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.”
Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

Gertrude Stein
“It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much, doing nothing, really doing nothing.”
Gertrude Stein

P.G. Wodehouse
“What ho!" I said.
"What ho!" said Motty.
"What ho! What ho!"
"What ho! What ho! What ho!"
After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation.”
Wodehouse, My Man Jeeves

Edith Wharton
“Genius is of small use to a woman who does not know how to do her hair.”
Edith Wharton
