Away With the Fairies

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “Very well, Uncle,” said Lin. “I bow to your wisdom.”
   “Good thing, too. What is the use of wisdom if it is not bowed to?”

Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer
Phryne Fisher No. 13, The Castlemaine Murders, ch. 8 (2003)

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

Mr. Butler approved of gluttony. It was, he thought, a nice, comfortable vice. Never caused any noise or trouble and the sufferer just expired of an apoplexy, regretted by all those who had attended his excellent dinner parties.

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “The best advice I would give you is, ‘If under attack, cause a diversion.'”
   “A diversion?”
   “Yes, trip over the dog, spill a glass of wine on your attacker, burst into song, challenge your attacker to a duel.”

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

   “Conversation is a minefield until you learn the conventions, Jane dear.”
   “I’ll never learn all the rules,” muttered Jane.
   “Yes, you will,” said Phryne. “Then you can bend them.”

Enough of this … I am not cut out to be a guide to youth. I think youth can get itself into enough trouble without my help, don’t you, Youth?

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

The solemn ritual continued. The pastor gave his final blessing. The coffin was lowered into the grave and earth cast on it; the most final sound in the world, Phryne thought, clods thudding hollowly on the lid.

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

She felt that the day should not be bounced in on with rude energy, but carefully and delicately seduced into being, and children and animals were sadly impervious to reason on this matter.

A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

Neither struck her as particularly experienced. The night would degenerate into the usual problems with an orgy: where to put what and where and when, and how to find room for one’s elbows.
