"Because 'happiness for all' is nothing our western civilisation can provide, insofar I completely agree with the authors. It rather seems like a carefully created system to provide 'happiness for a few', paid for by the working masses." — Sep 21, 2022 10:58PM

"Oh, Whistle, and I'll come to You, My Lad: Young guy finds old whistle and calls some kind of ghost with it. Nice and creepy. Had I read it in the evening, I would have had trouble sleeping. :-)
It's all about the atmosphere with these stories. All of them work." — Feb 07, 2019 08:03AM

Always the same girl dressed up as a man, and even that borrowed from Boccaccio or Dante or somebody. I’m sure if I’d been a Shakespeare hero, the very minute I saw a slim-legged young page-boy I’d have said: ‘Ods-bodikins! There’s that girl again!”

“I have found that in this business, one of the most important things is sincerity. If you can fake that, you can do just about anything.”

“... I should wish to add, as a tribute to the great merits of your lordship's cellar, that, although I was obliged to drink a somewhat large quantity both of the Cockburn '68 and the 1800 Napoleon I feel no headache or other ill effects this morning.
Trusting that your lordship is deriving real benefit from the country air, and that the little information I have been able to obtain will prove satisfactory, I remain,
With respectful duty to all the family, their ladyships,
Obediently yours,
MERVYN BUNTER.
"Y'know," said Lord Peter thoughtfully to himself, "I sometimes think Mervyn Bunter's pullin' my leg.”
