...Maltese cat. My heart hurt. Could this wreck, this ruin, this witch be the "outrageously beautiful" Maud Gonne? The woman Yeats had called "a classical impersonation of the spring, with complexion luminous as apple blossoms through which the light falls"? The mouth had sunk. The chin approached the nose. How heart-wrenching the mutations of time . . . But as she talked, I felt the upsurge of a vibrant personality. She lived; I could believe in her beauty...
...many parts, Szabo has done some hitches in the movies, but always (following the script) came out on the losing end of battles with smaller men, finally quit ("Who wants to get thrown around by little punks?").

The plane is much bigger than a standard fighter, and extremely heavy for its size: in engineers' lingo it has a prodigiously high "solidarity factor...
...left to place the bets, and by the time I returned with two show stubs on Casey's choice, she had bought a fifty dollar chunk of Omm Paul's nose. The horses left the gate well, and Mike was right; his animal was good--good enough to cop an easy second...
