A.D. Aliwat
“References, though, when they’re not cheap and transparent, they’re effective.”
A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

Jack Finney
“Would you have references?"
"I'm awfully sorry but I haven't. I just arrived in New York, and don't know a soul. Except you." I smiled but she didn't smile back. She stood hesitating, and I said, "It's true that I'm an escaped convict, an active counterfeiter, and occasional murderer. And I howl during the full of the moon. But I'm neat.”
Jack Finney, Time and Again
