'You know, we do have greaseproof paper these days. You don't have to save all your butter wrappers anymore.'" A Cornish Rant, Anita Hunt "The stairs opened into a large circular room, I could just about make out a black and yellow tiled floor ... I wasn't alone. A scuffling sound ... made my hair stand on end." The White Ermine, Froshie Evans"Digging a hole was digging a hole, and a dirty business it could be too, but even under the officer's duress, Petherick would square off the corners just right." Drowning Horses, Philip S Rollason"ʻTickets, please!ʼ the ticket inspector called as he entered the carriage. The knights already held theirs in shiny, spiked gauntlets." Knights on a Train, TJ Dockree
