...throws the knife at Eric's feet and collapses wailing to the ground. What enables the staff to go on is the knowledge that the children have been more sinned against than sinning.

...Aussies' secrets. The Russians even tried an eight-course dinner-and-pumping session aboard the Soviet liner Gruzia. But the Aussies had nothing to hide.

...omniscient figure who takes a job as children's companion and domestic aide in order to get background for a lampooning novel about suburbia. He has several classic moments--among them a wonderfully droll bit when he chastises an infant for throwing cereal by emptying the bowl on the youngster's head.
