Commonplace Book

'Swiftly, steadily, she walked to the door. Mice, mice. All of them, always, mice trying to be pirates. Lechers, financiers, statesmen, great men, fathers, lovers...mice, full of craft, scampering away if you just looked at them, stinking with fear and wonder...'

from Young Men in Love by Michael Arlen (Book Three)
