Quotes
“Once in a while you’re momentarily conscious of being happy. But I’m superstitious, and I picture Fate—best be respectful, and use a capital F—as a misty presence somewhere up in the sky but not too far away. Always listening, alert and ready to punish forbidden optimism.”
From Time to Time, Chapter 1 “I had the evening to kill, but it didn’t want to die and fought back.”
From Time to Time, Chapter 20 “The best thing in our show was always our move to the next town.”
From Time to Time, Chapter 21
