We might as well have a disco!
But at forty you learn all about it. Even your passions exhaust you
Before forty, you think that exhaustion is something like a long-lasting hangover
Gone fishing
He is a very reputable thief
The number of her male admirers had not diminished over the years
Never again interrupt us at our work
I should not love to be your companion for any length of time
He’d not so much as twitched an eyelid
His head was full of maths and girlfriends, physics and drinking
He stared into the wall at the far end of the room
That? It is a hole in the wall, a niche, a dovecote
It makes me worry that you are about to get in trouble again
He had flown into a rage and made a tremendous commotion
He drew half a breath of air and half of water
I already impose on your hospitality too much

We could go out in the garden; we could find a local pub

Do you have any idea why I’m different?

Slipping out in the dark he would track night-scented flowers in the summer woods
He had spent four months in the swamps
It was dawn by the time the tiger left the city
I can turn myself at will …

All your certainties are being blown away
For several years there was no communication between us at all
Wasn’t it crazy for him to be out there on his own
Who he was seemed actually to have slipped his mind
I am very glad to see you again
The points of the compass are like money, which has value only because men say that it does
