The Eighty-eighth Key Part III Chapter 19 ____________________________________ "You know, I do hope I've not presumed too much by bringing you up here, but this just happens to be my favorite place in the world to be." "It is truly remarkable, Avi." Harry looked at the high alpine landscape - in winter - feeling a curious mixture of gut-busting fear, dr...
Part V Chapter 43 Lloyd Callahan walked out to bridge-wing and looked at the tug on the bow pushing his ship away from the dock; worried with what he saw he got on his radio and called them: "Number two, slow it down or you'll push our stern into the dock!" - then he turned to his First Officer: "Rudder amidships, now."

Part V Chapter 44 As he knew it would, Fujiko was underwhelmed by his apartment near Fisherman's Wharf. It was dowdy even on the best days; now, after being empty for months on end -- and with just a few days spent there during that period -- the place was a petri dish of dust and mold.
