“There are times when one friend requires the blind faith of another...”
“You've been reading Gordan's book again, haven't you?" "It's a white-knuckle roller-coaster ride," she mumbled.”
“The past record of man is burdened with accounts of assasinations, secret combines, palace plots and betrayals in war.
