A Word in Your Pink Shell-like — Harlish Goop
| "While everyone has some idea of the meaning of the word
Arab, one could
reasonably enquire more closely. What exactly is an Arab? Is the word really a
term of ethnicity? Does it solely refer to those whose native language is
Arabic? Are there historical as well as geographical connotations?" |
H.G. explores the origin, history and
meanings of the words Arab and Muslim, together with those of some
related words. |

Mary Bennet — Jennifer Paynter
| "But one memorable morning after I had been a regular visitor
for several weeks, Mrs Allardyce stormed into the music room. George
was playing the last movement of a Beethoven sonata — appropriately,
the Tempest sonata — and I was sitting beside him, turning pages. We
had our backs to the door and such was the volume of the music that
at first we did not hear her. One moment she was screaming at us
from the doorway, the next, descending like a fury, pulling poor
George off his stool and crashing the lid of the pianoforte down on
my hand." |

Bone on Bone — Tony Rogers
"Having arrived, I promptly fainted.
I came around with two or three people supporting my slumped form
and someone else cooling my forehead with a wash-cloth. All my limbs
were limp and woolly, so they had to get me back to bed using their
famous Patient Hoist.
After that, things could only improve. Well, almost all things." |
