“But— Why didn’t you say?”

“Secret agent. Secret.”
K.J. Charles, Think of England

Dorothy L. Sayers
“My brother, being an English gentleman, possesses a library in all his houses, though he never opens a book. This is called fidelity to ancient tradition.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Murder Must Advertise

Christopher Fowler
“Do you enjoy reading?’ ‘I enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey.’ Bryant quailed at the thought. ‘That’s not really reading, is it? More like staring at an assortment of words.’ ‘It is very popular.’ ‘So is taking photographs of your dinner for Facebook, but that doesn’t mean it adds to the total sum of human knowledge.”
Christopher Fowler, Bryant & May and the Burning Man

“So how'd an academic end up walking a zombie through a palace on a heist job?”
Patrick Weekes, The Palace Job

“As a footnote to the above, I would like to say that I am getting very tired of literary authorities, on both the stage and the screen, who advise young writers to deal only with those subjects that happen to be familiar to them personally. It is quite true that this theory probably produced "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," but the chances are it would have ruled out "Hamlet.”
Wolcott Gibbs, Backward Ran Sentences: The Best of Wolcott Gibbs from The New Yorker
