Mary Bennet — Jennifer Paynter
| "And I had been so
certain I was safe! Mr Coates, I knew, had left for London earlier that
morning and would be away for several days, Nonna had gone into Meryton
to shop, and George and Sam were out riding. I had watched both boys out
of the house before going to the library and unlocking — with shaking
hands and pounding heart — the big breakfront bookcase where Mr Coates
kept copies of all his own works and taking out the first of the red
leather bound volumes. But now as I sat, head bowed and sick with dread,
I heard merely the rustle of swiftly turned pages and then — incredibly
— a burst of laughter." |

A Word in Your Pink Shell-like
— Harlish Goop
| "Some people do
seek meaning in it, you know. Or at least I presume that such people
exist. They must, surely? I could be utterly wrong, of course; the whole
thing could be one enormous university hoax, and somewhere there are
groups of sociology lecturers sniggering into their pina coladas." |
