Only a very special zoologist could look at a white-bodied, black-footed mongoose and observe: "She was sleek, sinuous, and svelte, and reminded me of a creamy-skinned Parisienne belle-amie clad in nothing more than two pairs of black silk stockings...
Harried Joseph Kasavubu had behind him not only the Western bloc but a new factor in U.N. politics-tribal ties. Cassock-clad Abbé Fulbert Youlou, the President of the former French Congo and, like Kasavubu, an Abako tribesman, rallied nine French Community states, helped beat back the adjournment motion 51 to 36.

...clattering New Zealand town to study with a master who is himself an exile there. She meets him: "'Give me some more of that wine Léon.' I investigate the state of my hair. 'I feel better now.' I watch the green-clad form humbling and anxiously pouring my wine not spilling any this time taking the greatest care. Can't you men be pathetic? Especially when you're in the heart's confessional. But I never was one for pathos. Didn't I say somewhere that souls were complicating...
