Ted Anthony Roberts
“Is this seat taken?” she asked him again, tapping on a chair at the table.
“That’s where my Rum is sitting. He is my guest!”
“But the bottle is in your hand, and not in this chair,” she spoke, pointing out the bottle.
“So, it is!” he answered, looking at his Rum. Then, looking back at her: “But he was invited to this party.”
Ted Anthony Roberts, Captain Skull: From the Memoirs of Sir Charles of Riley

Claire Fayers
“A moving object will continue in a straight line unless something happens to knock it off its course. Some say this is also true of stories. (From Aldebran Boswell's Book of Scientific Knowledge)”
Claire Fayers, The Voyage to Magical North
