"So you'll come over when I'm home, though, right?"

 

[mstang67chic]

Better to meet his blackmailer on his terms.

 

[slsh]

"Capitals emphasize and draw attention to the terms in which they are used."

(Loth - you can't guess on this one! )

 

[Wiped Out]

"Poor Mrs. Simmons was so distraught after a few days of this that she sent Mr. Canfield a telegram."

 

[DammitJanet]

"Address three was a quick drive: Fourth Street of La Jolla."

 

[mstang67chic]

Janet....is that one of the alphabet books by Sue Grafton?

 

[Lothlorien]

Slsh, is it that grammar Bible you and a few others always talk about?

Let's face it Mr. Burnet, You've been screwed.

 

[Hound dog]

"He could not take it in, and his terror for the others was paramount."

 

[ThreeShadows]

Num expects the answer no and nonne expects the answer yes.

You may even try to draw all these serrations, may do so almost mechanically, until those edges look like saw blades.

 

[klmno]

I want to read the book TM has- no matter what the title.

 

[Star*]

A star setting in the western sky, at about the same altitude, cam also be used, but in this case the signiificance of any drift is reversed, a southward motion of the star indication too great an altitude of the axis.

(um.....did you really want that?)

When it's all done, when the marks been blown off and Frankie's back in the car with the three grand, he and Roy whoop it up.

"So you'll come over when I'm home, though, right?"

Is this from eclipse?

 

[Marguerite]

That's all I knew, but a lot of crying happened, so I decided to join in because it seemed quite fascinatingly dramatic and tragic.

"Doctor," I said, "I want to be a naturalist - like you - when I grow up."

 

[gcvmom]

We always had something to exchange -- books, articles, tapes, boxes of chocolates he received from Switzerland -- for chocolates were expensive, especially ones from Switzerland.

 

[slsh]

Yes, Loth - The AAMT Book of Style for Medical Transcriptionists. It was either that or The Language of Medicine. I thought capitalization was more interesting than a study page on surgical procedures ("Inspection and repair of torn cartilage in the knee."). I think I need to spruce up reading material on my desk!!!

When he turned, there was a world to see.

"So you'll come over when I'm home, though, right?"

TM... That sounds like Eclipse as has been mentioned, and page 56 is about right in the storyline. After the party, after school, after work.

Bad part is I can quote that series without thinking!
